Description

Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers are a flavorful, juicy alternative to beef burgers. Made with ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions, these patties are perfect for grilling season or an easy weeknight meal. Serve them on toasted buns with your favorite toppings for a satisfying bite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Burger buns, lettuce, tomato slices, and condiments for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the patties: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, breadcrumbs, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  2. Form burgers: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Press a thumbprint into the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
  3. Cook: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Toast buns: Lightly toast burger buns while the patties cook for extra flavor and texture.
  5. Assemble: Place each patty on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, and desired condiments.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately while hot with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Prepare and refrigerate patties up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • Grilling tip: Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Serving ideas: Pair with sweet potato fries or a fresh cucumber salad.
