Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Burgers

By Courtney 24 Comments

These Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Burgers have already been deemed a spring/summer staple in this house. The burgers are not only laced with crumbled bacon, but topped with even more of it, along with some delicious melted cheddar and creamy ranch dressing. They’re LOADED with flavor!

******************

Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken Burgers

If you read my meal plan from last week, then you probably already saw that we didn’t do a whole lot in terms of actually meal planning. But on Wednesday on my way home, I decided to stop at the store for some much-needed ingredients for something, since we really had nothing in the house to cook.

A few days before that, my dear friend Mal had sent me an email to a recipe that inspired this very creation. I had looked at it and thought “oh, now that sounds good!” and saved it for another day. Well, that day happened on Wednesday, and now I’m totally hooked.

Chicken burgers are a real favorite of mine (see below in this post!). They come together SO easy, they cook quickly, they’re always moist and juicy, and they can take on lots of different flavors. With these burgers, I decided to go a bit more heavy on the bacon (pregnancy craving, perhaps) and not only added it on top of the burgers, but also crumbled it up and put it inside the burgers.

Because, why not?

Another reason I love cooking with ground chicken is because it’s also very easy to turn the burgers into meatballs, too…making them totally toddler friendly (like these toddler meatballs), since Lucas still isn’t quite into biting into a big burger just yet.

Using a full pound of ground chicken will usually yield four very good-sized burgers (they don’t cook down the same way ground beef does), so feel free to divide them up into 5 burgers, or keep the hearty appetites satisfied by keeping the servings to four.

We opted to make four large ones, and served them alongside some simple side salads.

But regardless of how many you make, the most important thing is that you just make them. Because I’m obsessed.

    These look so delicious! I love the way ranch seasoning adds flavour to chicken dishes... And you can't go wrong with all the bacon!

    Courtney! This looks mouth watering! I never thought to make burgers out of ground chicken let alone adding the bacon crumbles to the patty itself. Then top it off with bacon, cheddar cheese and ranch! #heaven Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you so much for these recipes. My mom and I both make the chicken parm burgers about once a week! Just made the Caesar ones last night, which the hubby proclaimed "better than a beef burger".

    I just made these for dinner and my husband and I loved them! We don't have ranch seasoning in Australia so I bought a veggie seasoning and it worked really well :-)

    This is my first time visiting here. I found so much entertaining in your site, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I'm not the only one who has plenty of time here! Keep up the good work. I was planning to write something like this on my website and you gave me an idea.
