White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers

Healthy Fact of the Day

Ground chicken is a lean protein source with less saturated fat than beef, while spinach adds iron, vitamins, and fiber. The combination creates a burger that's both indulgent and nourishing.

These White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers elevate your typical burger night with lean ground chicken, creamy melted white cheddar, and fresh spinach mixed right into the patty. They’re juicy, flavorful, and cook up perfectly in just minutes—ideal for weeknight dinners or weekend grilling. Easy to customize and always a crowd-pleaser.

If you enjoy these hearty chicken burgers, you’ll love our Buffalo Chicken Salad for another protein-packed chicken dish with bold flavors. For a similar comfort food vibe, try the Cheesesteak Tortellini in Provolone Sauce—it delivers that same cheesy satisfaction in pasta form.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Starbucks Just Confirmed the S’mores Frappuccino Is Coming Back — Here’s Everything Dropping This Summer

    Frappuccinos are one of the more indulgent items on the Starbucks menu — a grande S’mores Frappuccino runs over 400 calories with significant added sugar. If you want the campfire flavor with a lighter footprint, the new S’mores Cold Brew is the smarter pick: it delivers the marshmallow and chocolate flavors in a cold brew format that’s significantly lower in calories and sugar than the blended version. Ordering a tall instead of a grande, asking for light whip, or requesting fewer pumps of vanilla syrup are easy customizations that meaningfully reduce the calorie count without losing the experience.

    Smoky Mezcal Margarita

    Mezcal, like tequila, is made from agave and contains no carbohydrates when consumed straight. Using fresh lime juice provides vitamin C and antioxidants, while agave syrup offers a lower glycemic index than refined sugar. As with all cocktails, moderation is key—alternating with water helps maintain hydration and allows you to savor the complex flavors more fully.

    The Art of Eating Well on Almost Nothing

    Dried legumes — beans, lentils, and chickpeas — are among the most nutritionally complete and economical foods available, providing significant amounts of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, folate, and complex carbohydrates at a fraction of the cost of animal proteins. Regular legume consumption is one of the most consistent dietary patterns associated with longevity in the Blue Zone populations — the communities around the world with the highest concentrations of centenarians — making the humble bean one of the most health-supportive and budget-friendly foods available in any kitchen.
