Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Burger Patties:

  • 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

For Assembling the Burgers:

  • Buns
  • Bacon
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Ranch dressing
  • Additional veggies (optional, such as avocado slices, pickles, or onions)

Instructions

  1. Make the Chicken Burger Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, ranch seasoning mix, minced garlic, diced onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overmix to prevent dense burgers.
  2. Shape the Patties: Cover a baking sheet or large cutting board with parchment paper. Shape the mixture into even-sized burger patties. If the mixture is sticky, wet your hands with water to make shaping easier. For firmer patties, chill them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
  3. Cook the Burgers: Preheat a large pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on their size, until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  4. Prepare for Assembly: Cook bacon to your preference and prepare fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Have buns and ranch dressing ready along with any optional veggies you’d like to include.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Place the cooked chicken patties on the buns. Top with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and a generous drizzle of ranch dressing. Add additional veggies if desired.
  6. Serve: Serve the burgers immediately while warm and juicy for the best experience. Enjoy this flavorful and comforting meal!

Notes

  • Patty Mixture: Do not overmix to avoid dense, dry patties. Mix just until combined.
  • Shaping Patties: Wet your hands with water if mixture is sticky. Chilling patties before cooking helps them hold shape.
  • Cooking Options: Burgers can be cooked on the stovetop, grilled, or baked. Each method creates a slightly different texture.
  • Toppings: Classic toppings include bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Customize with avocado, pickles, or onions for added flavor and crunch.
  • Serving: Best served fresh but can be stored and reheated gently to maintain juiciness.
