Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken
- 60 g Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 100 g Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 large Egg
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 150 g Fresh spinach leaves
- 200 g Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 whole Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat mixture.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Ensure they are uniform in size to cook evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the patties in batches, if necessary. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 74°C/165°F). Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the patties are resting, prepare the spinach salad. In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the spinach salad and toss gently to combine.
To serve, place a portion of the spinach salad on each plate and top with two chicken patties. Serve immediately and enjoy!
