Bringing together the lean goodness of ground chicken, the bright green boost of spinach, and the creamy richness of melted white cheddar, these chicken burgers are a flavorful and lighter alternative to traditional beef patties. They’re perfect for those looking to enjoy a wholesome, satisfying burger without sacrificing taste or texture.
Fresh spinach adds vibrant color and nutrients, while white cheddar gives a bold, slightly tangy melt that complements the chicken beautifully. These burgers come together quickly, making them ideal for a busy weeknight dinner or a casual weekend cookout. Best of all, the simple, clean ingredients mean you can feel good about every bite.
Cooking them in a skillet with olive oil gives the exterior a lovely golden sear while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Whether you’re serving them on toasted buns or opting for a bunless, low-carb version over greens or roasted vegetables, this recipe adapts effortlessly to your preferences.
Customize your toppings to match your mood—go classic with lettuce and tomato, add a creamy element with avocado or mayo, or spice things up with sriracha or pickled jalapeños. However you build it, these burgers are guaranteed to impress.
