Ingredients

  • For the Burgers-
  • 1 Pound Ground Chicken
  • 1/2 oz Powdered Ranch Dressing Mix 1/2 a packet
  • 4 Strips of Bacon- cooked and crumbled
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Olive oil
  • For The Sauce-
  • 1/4 Cup Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 Medium Size Onion- diced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil or Butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine ground chicken, ranch dressing mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well incorporated and everything is evenly distributed.
  • Take a fourth of the chicken mixture and flatten into a patty. Continue with remaining chicken mixture until it is all formed into chicken patties.
  • The chicken burgers will be soft so sit them on parchment paper or wax paper until you are ready to cook them.
  • In a large skillet heat a little bit of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Place the chicken burger patties in the heated skillet and cook for about 7 minutes on one side, flip the burgers and continue to cook for another 7 minutes or until cooked through. The best way to check is with meat thermometer they should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Meanwhile while the burgers are cooking place a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of a small pot and heat over medium heat. Add in the diced onions and cook for about 10 minutes stirring frequently until the onions are translucent and turning golden brown.
  • Add in the barbeque sauce and stir well.
  • Add in the heavy cream and stir until everything is well blended.
  • Serve the cooked chicken ranch burgers with the sauce. They are great served on hamburger buns with additional toppings or served without a bun alongside your favorite side dishes.
  • Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container.
