Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole wheat burger buns

Lettuce, tomato, and pickles (for toppings)

Olive oil (for grilling)

Instructions
 

Mix 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 well combined, but be careful not to over-mix, which can make the burgers tough.

      Form Patties:

        Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each one into a patty, ensuring they are about 1 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each burger to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

          Preheat Grill:

            Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil to prevent sticking.

              Cook Burgers:

                Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are cooked through.

                  Assemble:

                    Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Place each cooked burger on a bun, and add your choice of lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

                      Serve:

                        Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad.
