This is my absolute go-to when I have zero energy to be creative or hunt for a new recipe. One of my best friends, Natalie, and I whipped this up together on a warm Wednesday night, and it quickly became a regular in both of our kitchens!

These Spinach Feta Chicken Burgers are a flavorful, nutrient-dense twist on a classic burger! Made with lean ground chicken (much more juicy than turkey), fresh spinach, tangy feta cheese, garlic, and herbs, packed with protein and greens.

They cook quickly on the stovetop or grill and pair beautifully with a bun, lettuce wrap, or salad. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or backyard cookouts.

Let’s dig in!

½ tsp dried dill (optional but recommended)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

Mix Burger Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, feta cheese, minced garlic, diced onion, oregano, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
