Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 hamburger buns

Lettuce, tomato, and onion slices for toppings

Optional: extra ranch dressing for serving

Instructions
 

Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, pressing gently to ensure they hold their shape.

      Preheat the Grill or Pan: If cooking on a grill, preheat it to medium heat. If using a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat.

        Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they are golden brown.

          Prepare the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until lightly golden.

            Assemble the Burgers: Once the patties are cooked, place each on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion. Drizzle with additional ranch dressing if desired.

              Serve: Place the top half of the bun on each assembled burger, serve immediately, and enjoy your Cheesy Ranch Delight!
