- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, add the ground chicken along with diced red onion, minced garlic, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and roughly chopped baby spinach.
- Sprinkle in the fresh dill, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly using your hands until the mixture is uniformly combined.
- Carefully form the mixture into four large patties, ensuring they are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
Cooking
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is gently sizzling, add the patties to the skillet, being careful not to crowd them.
- Cook the burgers for roughly five minutes on each side, until golden-brown.
- Once cooked through, remove the patties from the skillet.
Assembly
- Assemble your chicken burgers with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure your patties are evenly shaped for even cooking. Don't overmix the chicken and ingredients; just combine until everything is melded together. Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy. Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the patties from sticking.
