20 minutes
A chicken burger with feta and spinach is an exquisite combination of tender chicken meat, tangy feta, and fresh spinach that transforms a regular burger into a gastronomic delight. This recipe has roots in American cuisine but gains a unique flavor through Mediterranean ingredients. Feta adds a creamy saltiness to the dish, while spinach provides a light freshness. The juicy chicken patty with subtle spice notes pairs perfectly with a crispy bun and spicy mustard. This burger is suitable for a cozy home dinner or as an elegant version of classic fast food. A great choice for those seeking balance between rich flavor and health.
