Here is a Chicken Feta Spinach Patty recipe that 17dd Blog reader, Judy H., was inspired to create from scratch after reading another member’s post about her patties from her local butcher. The original patties looked so delicious that Judy got creative in the kitchen and developed her own version!
Judy’s recipe was originally double what I posted here, so I took the liberty of converting it to a 4-serving recipe. In Judy’s original recipe, she used 3 eggs (for a 2-pound ground chicken recipe), so if you feel like your chicken needs more than 1 egg, then by all means feel free to add in more.
This recipe is approved for all cycles of the 17 Day Diet. For your non-dieters in the family, toasted on a sesame bun would be a perfect addition. If you’re watching your carb intake, consider a protein style burger (patty wrapped in lettuce), or served as a patty alongside your favorite veggies! Enjoy!
Chicken Feta Spinach Patties
Ingredients
1 pound ground lean chicken
1 egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 to 2 ounces crumbed non or low-fat feta cheese
1 large handful spinach, chopped
1 teaspoon Olive oil (for frying)
Directions
In a large bowl, add all ingredients except for the olive oil and combine until well incorporated.
Preheat a non-stick pan on medium high heat. Depending on how lean your chicken is, you may need to add a bit of Olive Oil to the pan. Add patties and cook until both sides are browned and chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
Yields 4 servings (1/4 pound patty per serving)
Approved for all cycles
