Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Burger Patties
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (filling removed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, crushed Oreo cookies (with filling removed), shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, panko breadcrumbs, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to form a uniform mixture.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture evenly into four portions. Shape each portion into a round patty approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter and about half an inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the patties onto the heated surface and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
- Toast Buns: While the patties are cooking, place hamburger buns cut side down on the grill or skillet. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes or until they are lightly browned and crisp.
- Assemble Burgers: Place a cooked chicken patty on each toasted bun bottom. Top with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve: Serve the cheddar ranch chicken burgers hot with your choice of sides such as fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Removing the Oreo filling reduces sweetness and enhances texture.
- Ensure chicken patties reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
- For extra moisture, you can add a bit more ranch dressing if the mixture feels dry.
- These burgers can also be cooked in a skillet or on an indoor grill pan if outdoor grilling is not available.
- Feel free to customize toppings according to preference, such as adding cheese slices or avocado.
