Chicken Feta Spinach Burger (SO Juicy!)
This chicken feta spinach burger is our go-to chicken burger patties recipe. It's super juicy thanks to chopped fresh spinach and has tons of flavor thanks to the feta and oregano. Sear them in a pan or cook them on the grill; they're delicious both ways!

- 1 teaspoon EACH: oregano and pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Oil for cooking, see notes

- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. They will be quite moist and feel sticky and delicate.
Cook them in a pan
- Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large, non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 6 minutes per side, until golden on the outside and 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the center Reduce the heat if the patties are browning too quickly.Oil for cooking
Cook them on the BBQ
- Lightly oil a grill mat then cook them over medium heat for 5 minutes per side with the BBQ lid shut.
Notes
Tip: I always have a jar of bacon fat (reserved from cooking) in my fridge, and I'll sometimes use that to cook the burgers - it's delicious! But olive oil or neutral-flavored cooking oil works great, too.
