📝 Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
2️⃣ Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
3️⃣ Cook the Patties: Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet. Cook the chicken patties for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
4️⃣ Toast the Buns: If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, until they are slightly crispy.
5️⃣ Assemble the Burgers: Place a cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, red onion slices, and additional cheddar cheese slices if using. Drizzle with ranch dressing, and cover with the top half of the bun.
6️⃣ Serve: Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
