Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
  • ½ cup finely diced onion
  • ½ cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • Buns
  • Bacon
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Ranch dressing
  • Additional veggies (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, diced onion, and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is well mixed without overworking the meat.
  2. Line a baking sheet or cutting board with parchment paper and form the mixture into evenly sized burger patties, preparing all of them before cooking.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Cook each patty for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked through.
  4. Gather your buns, cooked bacon, fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and ranch dressing for assembling the burgers.
  5. Place each cooked patty onto a bun, then layer with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and a good drizzle of ranch dressing. Add any extra veggies you like.
  6. Serve your assembled burgers straight away and enjoy their rich, savory flavor.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing the patty ingredients to keep the chicken tender and juicy. If the mixture is sticky, wet your hands to help shape the patties or chill them for 15 to 20 minutes before cooking for firmer patties. Feel free to cook the burgers by grilling or baking if preferred. Customize your burger toppings with extras like avocado, pickles, or onions for added texture and taste. These burgers are best served fresh but can be gently reheated later to maintain juiciness.
