Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
4 hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, and onion for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place patties in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
Remove from heat and serve on toasted buns with your choice of fresh toppings.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety. You can serve these with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
