# Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper until the ingredients are fully integrated.
02 -
Divide the mixture into four even portions. Form each into a patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick, pressing a slight indentation into the center to promote even cooking.
03 -
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the grill or pan surface with olive oil to minimize sticking.
04 -
Place the chicken patties onto the heated surface. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the patties are well browned and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
05 -
During the final minute of cooking, arrange the whole wheat burger buns, cut side down, on the grill to toast until golden.
06 -
Transfer the cooked patties to the base of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce leaves and tomato slices as desired, then finish with the top half of the bun.
07 -
Serve the assembled burgers warm alongside your preferred accompaniments.
# Notes:
01 -
Leftover cooked burgers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Uncooked patties may be frozen for up to 1 month and should be thawed in the refrigerator before cooking. Reheat using a skillet or microwave until thoroughly warmed.
