Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers

Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers are delicious, juicy chicken burgers bursting with ranch flavor. They’re the perfect, quick weeknight meal. A huge favorite at our house.

It’s Wednesday, or Hump Day as Parker always calls it, which means he will be wearing his shirt today that has a camel on it and says “Hump Daaay, Oh Yeah!.”  He’s worn it every single Wednesday since he got it about four weeks ago. If I don’t have it washed and ready for him every Wednesday, I’m in big, big trouble.For some reason, Parker has an obsession with camels. He made a bucket list awhile ago and “riding a camel” is on his bucket list. Don’t even ask where the camel obsession came from because I haven’t got a clue.  He is always full of surprises.

Doesn’t Hump Day call for a good burger?  I think it does. These Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers have become a new favorite at our house.  I’ve made them three times over the last couple of weeks.  We love them! I don’t know about where you live, but the weather here in Utah has been in the upper 80’s low 90’s still which definitely warrants burgers on the grill, don’t you think?

These burgers have the best flavor and then when you top them off with some garden-fresh tomatoes, avocado, lettuce and BBQ sauce. . . holy moly they are good!  You can easily cook these in your oven under the broiler or in a fry pan, which means you can still have these even when your BBQ Grill is buried under five feet of snow.

Seriously though, you will love these.  I served them up with some oven steak fries and fry sauce and I had some extremely happy boys at my house!
