Chicken Feta Burgers
Chicken feta burgers are a fresh, flavorful twist on a classic burger, made with ground chicken, spinach, feta, garlic, and oregano for a lighter dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbles
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, feta, breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until just combined, then shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it if needed.
- Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve warm on buns, over salad, or however you like.
Nutrition
Notes
- Do not over mix: Mix the burger mixture just until everything is combined so the patties stay tender.
- Chop the spinach small: Smaller pieces mix in more evenly and help the burgers hold together better.
- Shape gently: The mixture will be a little softer than a beef burger, so forming the patties with lightly wet hands can help.
- Use a thermometer: Ground chicken should be cooked to 165°F so the burgers are fully cooked but not overdone.
- Let them rest briefly: Giving the burgers a minute or two after cooking helps them hold together a little better before serving.
