INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN:
- Ground chicken keeps the burgers moist & tasty by adding lean protein & a soft texture. The cheddar and spinach are able to shine. It is ideal to make the foundation of the keto diet.
SPINACH:
- Fresh spinach blends easily into the recipe and adds color, moisture, and nutrition. It offers a new earthy touch and keeps the burgers tender. Chop the leaves so that the mixture is uniform.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The patties get a rich, creamy flavor from the melted cheddar cheese. It gives the mild chicken moisture and a striking contrast. Always use fresh shredded cheese.
EGG:
- A big egg keeps everything cohesive and keeps it from disintegrating when cooking. It provides structure without compromising flavor. Whisk before combining to ensure uniform dispersion.
GARLIC:
- The strong flavor & aroma of garlic intensify when cooked. This is where fresh minced garlic shines.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We utilize this flour as a keto binding agent. It absorbs excess moisture & imparts a mild nuttiness. It maintains a solid yet soft feel.
BLACK PEPPER & SALT:
- Black pepper & salt are necessary for depth & balance. They amplify the ingredients’ inherent flavors. Adjust to taste to achieve the ideal seasoning.
PAPRIKA POWDER:
- Paprika contributes warmth, color, and a hint of smoke. It enhances the burgers’ flavor and appearance. You can add more depth by using smoked paprika.
