¼ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic
1 pound ground chicken breast
2 teaspoons chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon® Roasted Chicken Base)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 sandwich buns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inchbaking pan with avocado oil.
  • Combine mushrooms, spinach, onion, and garlic in the bowl of a small food processor or blender and pulse several times until chopped into very small pieces, but not pureed.

Categories     Chicken

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. lean ground chicken (about 90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon pesto
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For cooking: 1 tablespoon canola oil
For serving: Whole wheat burger buns, desired toppings (see notes)

Steps:

  • Add ground chicken, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, pesto, garlic, salt and black pepper to a medium bowl.
  • Using a fork and then your hands, mix until just combined.
  • Divide mixture into 4 equal parts and form burger patties that are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil.
  • Add burgers to pan and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until done, about 5-6 minutes more. Keep an eye on your temperature and reduce the heat if they are starting to burn. If you are adding sliced cheese to your burgers, you can do that when you flip them, so it melts as they finish cooking.
  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Then add desired toppings and enjoy!

CHICKEN & SPINACH BURGERS



Chicken & Spinach Burgers image

These go together in a snap. I usually double the recipe, form extra patties, separate with wax paper and freeze. Thaw, cook and serve and dinner just got really easy.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 bag(s) baby spinach, washed
1/2 onion, diced
2 clove fresh garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2-3 Tbsp good quality olive oil
4 hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
wax paper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat and add diced onion. Cook 4-5 minutes or until just getting soft. Add garlic, stir and cook about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • 2. Tear two pieces of wax paper and place them on the counter. Make them wide enough to hold two patties each. Add spices to the ground chicken and mix well.
  • 3. When the spinach mixture is cool enough to handle, add it to the chicken and mix until incorporated. It's sticky! Divide into four portions.
  • 4. Place one portion of the chicken mixture on the wax paper and form into a patty, pressing to about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat with each of the other portions.
  • 5. Reheat your skillet and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place one patty into the skillet by turning over the wax paper and gently placing the patty. Don't hold it too high over the skillet or it will splatter. Repeat with the second, third and fourth patties. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook 4 minutes each side. Dress buns per preference (mayo, pesto, avacado, tomato, red onion), top each with a chicken patty and serve.

TURKEY/CHICKEN-SPINACH BURGERS



Turkey/chicken-spinach burgers image

I don't really measure a whole lot, I just eyeball - so feel free to make adjustments as desired.

Provided by Laura Griffith @lauranette

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound(s) ground turkey (or chicken!)
1 package(s) frozen chopped spinach
6 small pinch(es) watkins bacon and onion powder
- olive oil spray
6 - whole grain hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Take frozen spinach out of the package and onto a clean towel or paper towel, then defrost and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.
  • Place thawed ground turkey in large mixing bowl, and mix in spinach.
  • Divide meat into 6 round patties and flatten into a burger shape.
  • A griddle works best, but feel free to grill or use a skillet. If you use a griddle or skillet, spray with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray (your preference).
  • Sprinkle Watkins Bacon-Onion powder or spice of your choice (pepper and salt work fine) on top side of burger before flipping.
  • Cook on each side until slightly browned and cooked all the way through (maybe 8-15 minutes depending on cooking method).
  • Place on buns and serve. I don't use any condiments on mine, but feel free to add lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, etc. as desired.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out any excess moisture before using it.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: Chicken burgers can dry out quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Use a good quality bun: The bun is an important part of any burger, so make sure to use a good quality bun that will hold up well to the burger and toppings.
  • Get creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for chicken spinach burgers. Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.

Conclusion:

Chicken spinach burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive dish for a party, chicken spinach burgers are a great option. So next time you're in the mood for a burger, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
