Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers
Ingredients:

For the Chicken Patties:
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing (or 1/4 cup dry ranch seasoning mix)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Assembly:
4 hamburger buns
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Additional ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions:

  1. Preheat Grill or Pan:
    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Patty Mixture:
    In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing (or dry ranch seasoning mix), breadcrumbs, green onions (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
    Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Form the Patties:
    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
    Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
  4. Cook the Patties:
    Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet.
    Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are cooked through.
    Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the patties.
  5. Assemble the Burgers:
    Toast the hamburger buns if desired.
    Place the cooked chicken patties on the bottom buns.
    Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
    Add the top buns.
  6. Serve:
    Serve the Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers hot with your favorite sides.
    Optional Additions:
    Bacon: Add crispy bacon slices for extra flavor.
    Avocado: Add slices of avocado for creaminess.
