Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, then remove from heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with chopped spinach, ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Shape the mixture into approximately 8 patties, each about ½ inch thick.
  4. In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with veggies, salad, or in pita bread with tzatziki sauce.
