2 large eggs |
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
2 cups cooked chicken (large chunks of rotisserie chicken breasts) |
1 small onion, in chunks |
salt and black pepper |
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained |
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |

2. Pulse chicken, onion, salt and pepper in food processor until finely chopped. Add to eggs, and stir to combine.
