🥬 Spinach Chicken Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or thawed and drained frozen spinach)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low-carb)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional, adds flavor)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix just until combined — don’t overwork it.

2. Form Patties: Divide mixture into 4 equal parts and form into burger patties. If it's sticky, lightly oil your hands.

3. Cook:

   • Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high and cook burgers 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temp is 165°F (74°C).
   • Pan-Fry: Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook burgers 5–6 minutes per side.

4. Serve: Serve on buns or lettuce wraps with your favorite toppings — like avocado, tomato, and tzatziki or a garlic-yogurt sauce.

🧊 Tip:

Make a double batch and freeze uncooked patties between parchment paper for quick meals later.
