Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

Hamburger buns

Lettuce, tomato, and condiments of choice for serving

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

      Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they are golden brown.

        While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the hamburger buns on a separate skillet, cut side down, until golden brown if desired.

          Assemble the burgers by placing a chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce and tomato, and add any additional condiments you prefer.

            Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately with a side of your favorite fries or salad.
