These delicious Chicken Feta Spinach Burgers are your new summer go to burgers! Insanely tasty, they are a healthy way to get in more veggies too!

What To Serve With These Burgers

One of my favorite things to serve with burgers is fries and coleslaw!

If you'd like a healthy french fry recipe, try these delicata squash french fries! The seasoning blend on them is quite versatile, and it's something a little healthier than regular potato french fries.

They're also full of flavor in each bite. You'll taste the various ingredients, and the amount of feta is just right!

Top Tip for These Chicken Spinach Burgers

My favorite tip for this recipe is to use a large spatula while frying and gently push down on the burgers while cooking.

This will give them a larger size and not let them shrink in size.

Storage

For any leftovers, store them inside an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

To reheat, you can use the microwave, however based on taste and texture, I recommend reheating them in the oven.

Place the patties in an oven safe dish and heat in the oven on 350F degrees until the desired temperature is reached.

Freezing

Yes, you can freeze these chicken feta spinach burgers! This is a great option to have ready to go protein to grab out and thaw for dinner, or when you only want one at a time!

You can freeze them in one of two ways:

The first option is to freeze them before cooking. After you mix all the ingredients and shape the mixture into patties, place each patty on a large piece of saran wrap. Wrap them individually and freeze!
The second option is to cook them, then let them cool completely. After that, wrap each patty individually in saran wrap and freeze.

To thaw, place the patties in the fridge on a plate until thawed and ready to cook. If you froze them raw, pick up right where you left off.

If you froze them cooked, simply reheat and eat!
