Cooking Instructions

Start by placing the spinach, onion, garlic, green onion, and parsley in a food processor. Process the mixture until finely chopped, guaranteeing the flavors are well combined.

Transfer the processed mixture to a large bowl. Add the ground chicken, shredded white cheddar cheese (if using), and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Chicken serves as a delicious alternative to red meat, making this recipe suitable for burger lovers open to new options.

Preheat your oven's broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and form the chicken mixture into patties of your desired size. Place the patties on the prepared sheet pan.

Broil the patties for about 7-9 minutes on each side, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Be sure to pour off any excess liquid that accumulates during cooking.

Once cooked through and lightly browned, remove the patties from the oven. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.

For the best results, remember to use lean ground chicken (around 90% lean) for peak flavor and texture.

Adding breadcrumbs can help bind the patties and prevent them from drying out. Mixing the ingredients just until combined will guarantee that your burgers remain juicy.

If you choose to cook the burgers in a skillet or on a grill, adjust the heat accordingly to prevent burning.

Finally, letting the patties rest before serving will enhance their texture and flavor. Enjoy your delicious homemade chicken burgers!
