How to Serve White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers

Serve these burgers on your favorite buns. Add toppings like fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, or avocado. A dollop of sauce—ranch, BBQ, or a creamy dressing—adds extra flavor. Pair them with sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal!

How to Store White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers

If you have leftovers, store the cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet or microwave until heated through. You can also freeze the uncooked patties and cook them straight from the freezer, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Tips to Make White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers

Make sure to chop the spinach very finely to blend well with the chicken.
Don’t overmix the meat; this keeps the burgers tender and juicy.
If you have extra cheddar, feel free to add more for extra cheesiness!
Try adding different spices or herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.

Variation

Consider switching up the cheese. Try feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist or pepper jack for a spicy kick! You can also experiment with adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms for additional flavor and texture.
