  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken Burger Patties

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
  • 3 garlic cloves (smashed and minced)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese

For Assembling the Burgers

  • Burger buns
  • Bacon strips
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Ranch dressing
  • Additional vegetables of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Burger Patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, diced onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the Patties: Cover a baking sheet or large cutting board with parchment paper. Shape the meat mixture into evenly sized burger patties. Prepare all patties before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
  3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Burgers: Place the patties in the pan and cook them for 6-8 minutes on each side. Cooking time may vary depending on patty size. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are golden brown.
  5. Prepare Toppings: While the patties cook, cook bacon strips until crispy. Wash and slice lettuce and tomatoes. Gather ranch dressing and any additional veggies desired.
  6. Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns if desired. Layer each bun with a cooked chicken patty, bacon strips, lettuce, tomato slices, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Add any extra vegetables as preferred.
  7. Serve: Serve the assembled cheddar ranch chicken burgers immediately while hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, do not overcrowd the pan while cooking patties to ensure even cooking and a nice sear.
  • Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken is fully cooked to safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Substitute ground turkey if preferred for a leaner option.
  • Add sliced pickles or red onion for extra flavor layers.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
