4 cups fresh chopped spinach (about a full 6 ounce bag spinach)
8 ounces feta, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Generous pinch cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Thinly sliced red onion
6 pita pockets
Instructions
In a bowl, combine chicken, red onion, grated onion, garlic, pimentos, salt and pepper. Form into six patties. In a large non-stick skillet, heat one tablespoon olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about four minutes per side.
While the burgers are cooking, make sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine spinach, cheese and milk. Turn the heat on medium and begin to heat the mixture, stirring occasionally. When the cheese begins to melt and a sauce consistency starts to form add cornstarch. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook another two to three minutes until the cheese is completely melted and sauce has thickened.
Cut pita pockets in half lengthwise.
Char pita rounds over a gas flame or under the broiler in the oven. Place patty on bottom half of pita, then top with sauce and red onion.
