Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 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 to form the burger mixture.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture evenly into four portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
  3. Cook Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the patties onto the heated surface and cook each side for about 5-6 minutes until they are fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and have a golden-brown crust.
  4. Toast Buns: While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a skillet for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned and slightly crispy.
  5. Assemble Burgers: Place each cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with fresh lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheddar ranch chicken burgers hot, accompanied by your favorite sides such as fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the Oreo cookies have the filling removed to avoid overpowering sweetness.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken patties with a food thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • Panko breadcrumbs help keep the patties juicy while providing a nice texture.
  • These burgers can also be cooked in a skillet if a grill is unavailable.
  • Customize toppings according to your preference such as adding cheese slices or different sauces.
