Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken lean or regular
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp or mild
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix about 1 oz
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
- 1 egg large, beaten
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
For Serving

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Press slightly in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Toast the burger buns and prepare toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked chicken patty on the bun, adding desired toppings, and drizzling with ranch dressing or mayonnaise.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers!
Notes
For extra crispiness, cook the patties in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Customize the flavor by using different cheeses like Pepper Jack or Swiss.
