Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion minced (about ½ cup)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 oz fresh spinach roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Artichoke hearts in water unflavored (chopped)
- 1 lb ground chicken
- zest of 1 lemon (grated)
- 1 large egg yolk
- ⅓ cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian Herb mix
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more if you like it spicy.)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instruction
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil.
- Add onions, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook onions until translucent. You will need to stir every few minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add spinach and artichoke hearts, cook, stirring, for 30-60 seconds, or until spinach wilts.
- In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, lemon zest, egg yolk, red pepper, Italian herbs and black pepper. Add in the partially cooled spinach mixture and crumbled feta.
- Mix well with your hands to combine.
- Form the mixture into 5-6 patties, wetting your hands slightly to make it easier if it’s sticky.
- Note: you can cover and refrigerate patties at this point if you want to make them later in the day
- When ready to cook, oil grill grates with olive oil or butter, heat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place patties on grill, cover grill, lower heat to medium and let cook 3-4 minutes.
- Flip patties, they should release easily from the grill grates when you slide the spatula under the pattie.
- After you flip, cook an additional 3-4 minutes, with the grill closed, or until the patties are cooked through.
- Transfer to a platter to serve with assorted toppings of your choice.
