Baked Chicken Burgers with Mushrooms and Spinach

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil , divided
• 0.5 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 0.5 cups chopped fresh spinach
• 0.25 cups chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 pound ground chicken breast
• 2 teaspoons chicken soup base , such as Better than Bouillon® Roasted Chicken Base
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 5 sandwichs buns

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1/2 of the avocado oil.

2. 2

   Combine mushrooms, spinach, onion, and garlic in the bowl of a small food processor or blender and pulse several times until chopped into very small pieces, but not pureed.

3. 3

   Place ground chicken in a bowl. Add chopped vegetables, chicken base, salt, and pepper. Mix until vegetable pieces are evenly distributed. Divide mixture into 5 evenly sized portions and shape into patties.

4. 4

   Place patties onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush with remaining avocado oil.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil each side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

6. 6

   Place each chicken burger on a bun.
