15 - Extra white cheddar cheese

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined, ensuring not to overmix for optimal texture.
02 - Divide the mixture into four uniform portions and shape each into a patty approximately 2.5 cm thick for even heat distribution.
03 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a light coating of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes per side, until the surface is golden-brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Avoid compressing the patties during cooking to retain natural juices.
04 - Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes to preserve moisture.
05 - Position each patty on a toasted bun or lettuce wrap and add preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, extra cheddar, avocado, red onion, or mayonnaise. Serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - Burgers can be prepared ahead—refrigerate formed raw patties up to 24 hours, or freeze individually before transferring to storage bags for up to several months; frozen patties may be cooked directly from frozen with extended cook time.
02 - For gluten-free preparation, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs and select gluten-free buns or serve in lettuce wraps.
03 - Outdoor grilling is suitable; oil grill grates thoroughly and preheat to prevent sticking and promote browning.
04 - For enhanced melted cheese texture, place an extra slice of cheddar on each patty in the final minute of cooking, covering with a lid to melt.
