Ingredients:
Ground Chicken, 1½ pounds (97/3 lean to fat ratio)
Red Peppers, ½ cup, finely chopped
Feta Cheese, ⅓ cup, crumbled
Fresh Spinach, 1 cup, chopped
Panko Crumbs, ⅓ cup
Garlic, 2 cloves, minced
Dried Oregano, 2 teaspoons
Salt, ½ teaspoon
Pepper, ¼ teaspoon
Fresh Lemon Juice, 1 tablespoon
To Serve: Sliced Cucumber and additional Spinach
Instructions:
Prepare the Burger Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, red peppers, feta cheese,
spinach, panko crumbs, garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix gently to ensure the
ingredients are evenly distributed, taking care not to overmix to maintain tender burgers.
Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 to 6 equal portions, shaping each into a patty based on your
preferred size.
Cook the Burgers: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. For skillet cooking, add a drizzle of olive
oil to prevent sticking. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked
through and golden brown on the exterior. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve: Arrange each burger on a plate, accompanied by slices of cucumber and extra spinach for a crisp,
refreshing contrast. These burgers pair wonderfully with whole-grain buns for those seeking a more
filling meal.
