Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers
  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Slice the tomatoes, wash the lettuce, and toast the burger buns.
  2. Combine ground chicken with ranch seasoning and shredded cheddar in a large bowl. Mix gently and form into patties, roughly ¾ inch thick.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Assemble the burger with a bun, patty, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch dressing, then top with the other half of the bun.

Notes

Avoid overworking the chicken mixture to keep patties juicy. Chill patties if too soft before cooking. Don't press down on them while cooking.
