Ingredients
  

  • pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • olive oil spray
  • 5 low-calorie hamburger buns toasted
  • Optional toppings sliced avocado, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, sliced tomato, raw or sautéed onions

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix the ingredients until combined and form into 5 flattened patties.
  2. Heat a large sauté pan, griddle or grill pan over medium-low heat. Spray with olive oil and place the patties in the pan.
  3. Cook the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
  4. Place a patty on each bottom bun, add any of your desired toppings, and then top with the second part of the bun.

Notes

  • Tip 1: You’ll get a super tender patty with even more flavor in each bite by visiting your spice drawer. Feel free to add a teaspoon of any spice you love, such as harissa, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, or chile flakes.
  • Tip 2: The cooked burgers can be cooled and refrigerated up to 3 days. To rewarm, microwave for 30 seconds, or place in a saucepan over low to medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • Tip 3: The uncooked burgers can be placed on parchment-lined baking sheets, frozen for 1 hour, and then placed in labeled zip-top bags. Defrost in a refrigerator overnight and then cook as directed.
  • Tip 4: Crumble the cooked burgers over rice (or other favorite grain), or wrap them in lettuce for a carb-free meal.
