Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, spinach, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well incorporated.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for 3-5 minutes for juices to redistribute.
  5. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and adding your favorite toppings.
