Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce, tomato slices, and additional ranch dressing for serving
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, breadcrumbs, finely chopped green onion, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, being careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers dense.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Be sure to make the patties slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink slightly during cooking.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to confirm they’re safe to eat.
- Once the burgers are done, serve them on toasted hamburger buns, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and an additional drizzle of ranch dressing for extra flavor.
