# What You’ll Need:

01 - ½ cup diced onion, very fine

02 - 3 minced garlic cloves

03 - 1 large egg

04 - 1 oz ranch seasoning pack

05 - ½ cup cheddar, finely grated

06 - 2 lbs ground chicken

01 - Toss together ground chicken, egg, crumbs, seasoning, garlic, cheddar, and onion in a big bowl. Stir gently until combined evenly.

02 - Line a cutting board or baking sheet with parchment. Mold the meat mixture into round patties. Make all the patties before cooking them.

03 - Heat up a big pan over medium. Add a drizzle of oil, then let patties sizzle for 6-8 minutes per side until the insides are done.

04 - Stack the cooked patties on buns. Add bacon, tomato slices, lettuce, and a touch of ranch dressing. Pile on extra veggies if you like.

05 - Dig into the burgers right after assembling for the tastiest experience.

01 - Don’t overmix the ingredients, or the patties could end up tough.

02 - If the mix is sticky to handle, wet your hands lightly for shaping.

03 - Popping the mix in the fridge for 15 minutes can help firm it up.

04 - Cook the patties on the stovetop, grill, or oven for different textures.

05 - Toppings can be switched up. Avocado or pickles add great flavor!

06 - Reheat leftovers gently so they stay juicy and flavorful.
