Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground chicken
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
4 soft hamburger buns (toasted)
Lettuce and tomato slices (for topping)
Pickles (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, breadcrumbs, and egg until just mixed.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into patties about 1 inch thick.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Toast burger buns until golden brown while the patties cook.
Assemble your burgers by layering lettuce, tomato slices, pickles (if using), and the cooked chicken patty. Add extra ranch dressing if desired.
