# What You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus more for coating)
04 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing
05 - 1 egg
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

02 - Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
