Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb 92% lean ground chicken
- 1 cup spinach finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil like avocado oil
Instructions
Stovetop
- Mix meat and form chicken patties - In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, spinach, garlic, parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika. Use your hands to gently mix until combined, careful to not over mix. Form the ground chicken mixture into 4 equal-sized 1-inch thick patties and use your thumb to make an indentation in the middle of each patty. This indentation will prevent the meat from puffing up in the center.
- Cook patties - Heat a skillet or griddle on medium heat and add the oil. After the skillet heats for about 2 minutes, place the patties on the pan. If using a small pan, work in batches so as to not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F before serving.

- Prep the grill - Prepare the grill medium heat, about 375°-450°F, and oil the grates. Use an oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado oil. Once hot, place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side. The internal temperature should reach 165°F before serving.
Notes
Top Tips
- If grilling, use an instant-read thermometer to avoid burning yourself.
- Make all the patties the same size so they cook evenly.
- Don't over mix the patty mixture or it will dry out.
-
- Refrigerate chicken patties in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. In order to reheat the patties, let them get to temperature for 15 minutes then reheat them in a skillet over low heat until hot.
