Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced red onion, minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped spinach. Gently mix until just combined.
- Add the chopped dill, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture and stir until thoroughly integrated.
- With wet hands, form the chicken mixture into patties about 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
Cooking
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Place the patties in the pan, avoiding overcrowding, and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Flip the patties gently and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
Handle the chicken mixture gently to keep the burgers tender. Let them rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
