Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves, for topping
  • Tomato slices, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated without overworking the meat to keep the patties tender.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the seasoned chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a thick, even patty. Press a small indent in the center of each to prevent puffing during grilling.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, around 375°F. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to avoid sticking and help the burgers achieve beautiful grill marks.
  4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side. In the last two minutes, add a slice of sharp cheddar on top of each patty, allowing it to melt while the burger finishes cooking.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill until golden. Place each grilled patty on a bun and top with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and any other preferred toppings or sauces.

Notes

  • Use fresh ground chicken for better texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the chicken mixture to keep the patties juicy and tender.
  • Ensure the grill is preheated well to sear the patties and lock in juices.
  • Press a dimple in each patty to prevent uneven puffing while grilling.
  • Let cooked burgers rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute juices.
