LEAH's Kitchen: Spinach Chicken Cheese Burger

I came across this #spinachburger on Pinterest and felt that the burger was quite peculiar in a way. I don't usually eat spinach in a burger. My mom cooks spinach in a soup form or stir-fry in a Asian-style as a side dish. But the picture that I saw was very tempting. It looks yummy and pretty easy to make so I decided to give it a try.
