Ingredients
Chicken Burger Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1 pack Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- ½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Optional: 1 Egg or 1 Tbsp Canola Oil (if mixture is too dry)
- Cheddar Cheese slices (for topping)
- Toasted Hamburger Buns (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with the dry ranch seasoning mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and panko breadcrumbs. If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, add an egg or a tablespoon of canola oil to help bind the ingredients together.
- Form the Burgers: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties to ensure uniform cooking.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat or prepare your grill by brushing the grates with oil. Place the patties on the skillet or grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on the grill, or if using the skillet, cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the burgers are cooked through and golden brown.
- Add Cheese Topping: Place cheddar cheese slices on top of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve: Serve the warm chicken burgers on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, or condiments of choice.
Notes
- If the burger mixture is too loose, add an additional egg or more breadcrumbs to help it hold together better.
- Always ensure chicken burgers are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure food safety.
- You can customize the seasoning by adding garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for added flavor.
- These burgers can be grilled or cooked in a skillet depending on your preference and available equipment.
- To make the burgers juicier, avoid pressing them down while cooking to retain moisture.
