Not only are they filled with tons of flavor, but it requires minimal ingredients and can be whipped up in no time at all. They are also Keto, Macro Friendly and kid friendly.
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.

Can you substitute feta with a different type of cheese ?
Absolutley!
This has become a weeknight staple in my house. I add balsamic drizzle and it’s a knockout every time!
Hi Shelby,
I am so happy when a recipe makes the rotation family favorite list. Thanks so much for the kind words of support.
Omg. So good.. I have never used ground chicken. I was nervous about it . But it was delicious. I used regular flour and seared the chicken patties . And finished in my convection oven for 5 minutes to cook the middle .I served over couscous. With broccoli!
YUM…….Thrilled you loved the recipe Rachel. Thank you for the kind words of support.
I’m assuming the almond flour helps give the burgers a shape. If I don’t have almond flour, is flax seed meal a decent substitution ?
Absolutley. That would for sure work!
These turned out great snd I will definitely make again!
We love this recipe! Do you think these could also be baked in the oven? If so, for how long and what temp?
Sure, try baking at 350 for about 20 to 25 mins or until internal temp. is 160 degrees. Thanks Jane!!!
I made a double recipe of this the other night and I’m obsessed! I will definitely be adding this to my family’s meal rotation. Thank you so much!
So happy to hear! Thank you Sonya 😉
Hi, I always choose to eat delectable and nutritious foods. When I read the post, I realize it’s the food item I’ve been missing for a long time. Furthermore, your article will be very useful to many individuals, including myself, who are always looking for healthy food recipes.
Thank you Mena for your kind words. Thrilled this helped.
These were so delicious! I had to combine 1/2 ground chicken and 1/2 ground turkey since I didn’t have two of chicken, and it all went so well together. My husband (who is the critic of the table 😉 said they were really good and wanted more.
I doubled the garlic (I love garlic powder!), and added more salt, but otherwise kept it exactly as the recipe stated. I made 20 balls with it all, which was nice to have leftovers. I’ll definitely make these again.
