Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.

Thinly slice 2 yellow onions and add them to the pan.

Add a little salt, pepper, and a bit of water to the onions to help them steam and caramelize.

Use tongs to flip the onions occasionally to prevent burning.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 pound of ground chicken, 1/2 diced onion, 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped parsley, 1 cup of chopped spinach, and 1 minced garlic clove.

Mix the ingredients with your hands until well combined.

Add dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and mix again.

Form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick, making 5-6 patties.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of coconut oil to coat the pan.

Add the patties to the pan without crowding them, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Press the patties down slightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Flip the patties a couple of times to ensure they are cooked through and browned on both sides.

Check for doneness by ensuring they are firm and push back when poked.

Once cooked, top the burgers with caramelized onions and slice avocado if desired.
