1. Pat the fresh spinach dry and finely chop it. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

2. In a large bowl, gently combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Mix just until combined (about 30 seconds) – don’t overwork the meat.

3. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and improve binding.

4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb.

5. Let patties sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cooking.

6. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface with olive oil.

7. Place patties in the pan without overcrowding. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without pressing down or moving them.

8. Flip carefully and cook for another 5-6 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

9. Remove from heat and let burgers rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

10. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, or enjoy on a bed of greens for a low-carb option.
