Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, fresh spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs, and the egg. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
  2. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Let them rest for a few minutes.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
