Chicken Spinach Logs/Burgers

1 lbs. ground chicken
1 cup chopped spinach

1 tsp. finely chopped garlic

1 small red onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. oil
½ cup shredded cheese

spray oil for frying

In a medium frying pan saute onions and garlic until transparent in oil.  Add spinach and saute until limp.  Allow to cool completely.  In a large bowl combine all ingredients.  Shape into logs/patties.  Heat a non-stick pan over med-high heat until hot.  Add logs/patties.  Use spray oil only if needed.  Cook on all sides until brown.  Cover and reduce heat to low.  Cook an additional 10 minutes or until the center reads 165 degrees.  Serves 4

Comments:  I wasn’t sure I would like this but decided to give it a try.  The original recipe didn’t use the cheese but I thought it would make everything stick together better so I added just a light amount of cheese.  The original also had the logs resting on a pressed out, grilled biscuit.  I passed on that.  I made these the 1^st time as logs and after tasting them I decided they would be delicious as burgers so I made them a 2^nd time as burgers, adding my favorite condiments and they were delicious!  This is now my go-to healthy burger.  My 3 food testers also loved it both as a log as well as on a bun.  One of my testers stopped me and said he wanted the recipe.  He wants to start making them for himself.
