Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties. Chill for 10-15 minutes if desired to help them hold shape.

Avoid overmixing the meat to keep burgers tender and juicy.
Dampen hands when shaping patties to prevent sticking.
Chill patties before cooking for better structure.
Uncooked patties can be frozen between parchment paper and thawed before cooking.
