Jumbo Chicken Spinach And Herb Burgers Recipes

CHICKEN SPINACH BURGERS

Steps:

• Add ground chicken, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, pesto, garlic, salt and black pepper to a medium bowl.
• Using a fork and then your hands, mix until just combined.
• Divide mixture into 4 equal parts and form burger patties that are about 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil.
• Add burgers to pan and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until done, about 5-6 minutes more. Keep an eye on your temperature and reduce the heat if they are starting to burn. If you are adding sliced cheese to your burgers, you can do that when you flip them, so it melts as they finish cooking.
• Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Then add desired toppings and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Arrange the defrosted chopped spinach in the center of a kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the spinach and squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the spinach in a mixing bowl and combine with the chicken, shallots, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Preheat a second medium-size skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are nice and brown. Season the 'shrooms with salt and pepper. Add the wine or broth and cook until the pan is almost dry, about 2 minutes.
• Top the big-bird burgers with the mushroom topping and the Swiss cheese. Fold each slice of cheese in half to fit the burger, if necessary. Cover loosely with aluminum foil. Turn off the pan and let the cheese melt, about 2 minutes.
• Slather the tops of the buns or English muffins with a little mustard. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with lettuce and tomato. Put the bun or muffin tops in place.
