Chicken Spinach Burger

Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Burger buns
– Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to keep the burgers tender.

2. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Depending on the size you prefer, you can usually make 4 to 6 patties.

3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill for a minute or two until they are lightly golden.

5. Once the burgers are done, assemble them on the toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Whether you choose classic lettuce and tomato or opt for unique additions like avocado or caramelized onions, the choice is yours!

6. Serve your Chicken Spinach Burgers hot and enjoy a flavorful and nutritious twist on a classic favorite.
