Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, sautéing until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions and garlic with chopped spinach, ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Shape the mixture into approximately eight patties, each about ½ inch thick.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, place the patties on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite garnishes.
