Ingredients

• ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 pound ground chicken breast
• ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil, divided
• 5 sandwich buns

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inchbaking pan with avocado oil.

Step 2

Combine mushrooms, spinach, onion, and garlic in the bowl of a small food processor or blender and pulse several times until chopped into very small pieces, but not pureed.

Step 3

Place ground chicken in a bowl. Add chopped vegetables, chicken base, salt, and pepper. Mix until vegetable pieces are evenly distributed. Divide mixture into 5 evenly sized portions and shape into patties.

Step 4

Place patties onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush with remaining avocado oil.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil each side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 6

Place each chicken burger on a bun.
