Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Burger Mixture

  • 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

To Serve

  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crushed Oreo cookies (with the filling removed), shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, panko breadcrumbs, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture evenly into four portions. Shape each portion into a round burger patty, ensuring they are compact so they hold together during cooking.
  3. Cook the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for approximately 5 to 6 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until they are fully cooked through and have a golden brown crust.
  4. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, place the hamburger buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned and warm.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Top with fresh lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and pickles, then cover with the top half of the buns to complete the burger.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheddar ranch chicken burgers immediately while hot, accompanied by your choice of side such as fries or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Ensure the Oreo cookies have the filling removed to avoid an overly sweet taste.
  • Chicken must be cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • For a crispier texture, you can grill the patties rather than cooking in a skillet.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to your preference, such as adding avocado or different sauces.
  • Use fresh ranch dressing for best flavor or substitute with a homemade ranch dip.
