Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and dry lettuce leaves and slice tomatoes. Toast buns in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
  2. Combine ground chicken with ranch seasoning and cheddar cheese in a bowl. Mix gently, form into 4 patties, and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Assemble burgers by placing each patty on the bun, topping with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch dressing.
  5. Serve immediately with sweet potato fries or salad.
