Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground chicken
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into equal patties about 1 inch thick.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), achieving a golden-brown crust.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar on each patty to melt.
Remove from heat and let rest before serving on buns with your favorite toppings.
