Ranch Ground Chicken Burger is a juicy, delicious chicken burger recipe made of ground chicken and flavored with ranch! It’s a quick, weeknight dinner solution that the entire family will love. Mix up your burger routine and make a chicken burger!

So, burgers are one of those things we usually make during the summer so seeing as we’re heading into the colder months we will really miss our grill! Goodbye, BBQ Tenderloin and Grilled Corn – we’ll miss you! The hardest are the burgers, though. I love grilled burgers!
So, as much as I’m looking forward to baking more and making cozy dinners I’m always a little sad when we clean and cover the grill for the winter. So, you might be wondering – well, if grilling season is over for you what’s with the chicken burgers? I’m so glad you asked! I cooked these easy Chicken Burgers with Ranch using my – are you ready for it? – broiler. Yep, these juicy burgers cook in about 10 minutes in the oven, but you’d never know. They totally look and taste like they were grilled!
My sister-in-law told me about this recipe for chicken burgers. We usually stick with beef burgers or turkey burgers, so I was curious about using ground chicken to make a burger. I played around with the recipe she shared – I changed it a lot and mixed it up – and (spoiler alert!) they are yummy! Obviously, they have ranch dressing on them because you know how we love our ranch around here! Maybe I’ll throw some bacon bits in next time. You know how I roll.
Tender chicken burgers dripping with ranch – you know I’m in love! I think you will be, too, when you see how easy they are to make!

How to Make Ground Chicken Burger
- Preheat – while you prepare the burgers preheat the broiler. Grease the broiler pan.
- Make the patties – combine chicken, both types of breadcrumbs, seasonings, and BBQ sauce in a bowl. Form the mixture into four burgers. (Picture 1 and 2)
- Cook – place the burgers on the broiler pan and cook them for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. (Picture 3)
- Toast – butter the buns and place them, cut side up, on the broiler pan and toast them until they turn golden brown. (Picture 4)
- Serve – place the burgers on the buns, top them with Ranch dressing, and serve! (Picture 6)
I love how the burgers get the same kind of marks – it looks like they were grilled! They are juicy and so delicious on the toasted buns. And all that drippy ranch…. well, you already know how I feel about that! Will I give up grilled burgers? Probably not, but these broiled burgers will keep me very happy as I wait for grilling season next year!

Your pop up ads are so annoying!! They cover up the recipe and there is no way to remove them. Can’t try the recipe because I cannot read it
Janie says
Cook that meat to 165F.
Aimee G says
I have some ground turkey in the freezer that I need to use. Do you think I could use that instead of the chicken?
Julie Evink says
I think so, but I’ve never tried it that way!
Jessica says
Super flavorful! I really enjoyed these.
Michelle Sperr says
Thanks for trying the recipe Jessica! I’m glad you loved it.

Julie, your recipes never fail me! These were yummy! The only change I made was using deli sliced cheddar in place of American cheese, just a personal preference. You can probably get away with using any kind of cheese you like, especially sliced pepper jack which I will have to do next time. Excellent burger on a pretzel bun and so easy to make. Thank you for such a great recipe!
Christine @ myblissfulmess says
Well that was dumb of me. This review was meant for the Rodeo Burger! I’ll go put it over there now. LOL Sorry!
Bre says
These were impressively good! I added bacon bits just because I could, but they were so hefty I was able to grill them! The patty was extremely flavorful! Thanks for the recipe! Definitely saving it!
Julie says
Bacon makes anything better in my opinion! Glad you enjoyed it!
