Instructions:
Prepare the Burger Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, plain bread crumbs, ranch seasoning mix, minced garlic, finely diced onion, and finely shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Take care to avoid overmixing, as it can result in tough patties.
Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick. This recipe should make about 6-8 patties, depending on your preferred size.
Cook the Patties:
- Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
- Cook the chicken patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are fully cooked through. The patties should be golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Serve the Burgers:
- Toast your favorite burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for a minute or two until they are lightly browned.
- Place each cooked chicken patty on a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and additional cheddar cheese.
- Spread a dollop of ranch dressing or mayo on the top bun if desired, then assemble the burgers.
Enjoy:
Serve the Ranch Cheddar Chicken Burgers hot with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
