Chicken Bacon Ranch Burgers

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon according to package instructions. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain the grease. Chop 4 strips of bacon and set the other 8 strips aside.
2. Add the ground chicken, chopped bacon, 1 cup shredded cheese, and entire packet of ranch seasoning to a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Form into 4 patties and set aside.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
4. While the burgers are cooking, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
5. Place the buns on a baking sheet, open-faced. Top each half with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the buns are toasted.
6. Assemble the burgers. Place 2 pieces of bacon on each bun. Top with a burger patty. Drizzle with ranch dressing. Add the top half of the bun. Enjoy!
