Instructions

In a large bowl, add ground chicken, chopped spinach, feta cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and mayonnaise. Lightly mix, making sure to not over-mix or else the burgers will be tough.
Divide the meat mixture into 5 patties (about 3.5oz each). I recommend using either a kitchen scale or a plastic-lined ½ cup measuring cup to evenly divide the meat. Then use your thumb to place a slight indent in the middle.
Lightly oil a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add patties and cover with a lid or mixing bowl to dome, cooking the first side for 4-5 minutes. Then flip and cook the second side, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes more or until internal temperature is 155-160°F. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

To cleanly and evenly divide the meat into 5 patties, line a ½ cup measuring cup with plastic wrap. Add the meat mixture, wrap it in the plastic wrap, and pull it out of the cup. Then gently flatten the patties and unwrap onto a plate.
If using frozen spinach, use half the amount and thaw completely. Squeeze out as much water as you can before adding it to the mixture.
To Grill: Pre-heat your grill to medium-high and oil the grates or use an oiled cast-iron griddle. Add the patties and close the lid. Cook each side for 4-6 minutes or until internal temperature is 155°F.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155°F. Let rest 5 minutes.
To Air Fry: Preheat to 400°F and spray basket with oil. Cook patties for 10-15 minutes and check internal temperature.
