Burger Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken 450g
  • 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach 60g, wilted and squeezed dry
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt 5g
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper 2g

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Sauté spinach until wilted, squeeze out all liquid using a towel, and chop finely.
  2. Mix ground chicken, spinach, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 thick patties with an indentation in the center.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brown marks appear.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
