Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty roughly 1/2-inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties to the skillet.
  2. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in the oven or on a griddle.
Assembly
  1. Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun. Add your preferred toppings.
  2. Serve the burgers with mayonnaise or any favorite condiment of your choice.

Notes

Consider adding fresh herbs for enhanced flavor. For an extra cheesy experience, place a piece of cheddar cheese inside each patty before cooking. Customize toppings to your liking.
