Recently, I have been making a double batch of these Feta and Spinach Chicken Patties on Sunday and using for meal prep during the week and freezing the rest of easy meals later in the month. I am amazed by how well they store in the fridge. In my opinion, I think they taste better after sitting a few days. I will simply heat up in the microwave, skillet or add to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
Feta isn’t something that I incorporate into my diet that often, but every now and then it just hits the spot. I usually get really upset stomachs if I have dairy, but these patties don’t seem to throw me off track. However, if you can’t have dairy, try subbing your favorite dairy free cheese.

I don’t have any spinach, but I do have arugula. Do you think it would work with arugula? And I’m also out of almond flour, but I need to make them gluten-free. Could I use gluten-free breadcrumbs? Thanks so much.
These came together quick and are delicious. I was trying to find a recipe to use my ground chicken and some spinach, and this was the perfect find. I did not measure the feta, just used what I had, which may have been under the 1/3rd cup. The spatula stuck to the patty a bit when first pressing down, but I held the patty down with another utensil which worked well. I love following your recipes and watching the beautiful recipe reels you make on Instagram & was happy when the Pinterest recipe I selected brought me to your site. Thank you, Mac!
Wondering about time & temp to make these in the air fryer?
Just made these for dinner….all I can say is “YUMMY”. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for this delicious and easy recipe for a quick dinner.
So happy to hear they were a hit! Thank you
How long in the bbq?? Ty
These sound amazing and I will definitely be making them. Just curious what else I could use in place of the almond flour?
This recipe was so good! I divided the mixture into 8 patties, and cooked it in my air fryer. I preheated for 5 minutes at 350°, sprayed it with cooking spray, and then cooked 4 patties at a time for 15 minutes. I flipped them halfway through. Will definitely make again!
I am so happy to here this. Thank you for letting me know it worked in the air fryer!
Can I use ground turkey instead?
For sure!
What would the a good substitute for the feta that isn’t tangy?
I haven’t tested a swap for feta in this recipe, as it’s one of the main components. However, you could try ricotta, goat cheese, or mozzarella as alternatives. Be sure to let me know how it turns out if you try one of these substitutions!
