Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tsp ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 4 burger buns (or lettuce wraps for low-carb option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon and Cream Cheese Mixture: Cook the bacon until crisp, then crumble finely. In a bowl, blend the cream cheese with ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, green onions, and the crumbled bacon to create the creamy filling.
  2. Form the Chicken Patties: Divide the ground chicken into 8 equal portions and gently flatten each into thin patties. You need two patties per burger for stuffing.
  3. Stuff the Patties: Place a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on one patty, cover it with a second patty, and firmly seal the edges to contain the filling.
  4. Cook the Stuffed Chicken Burgers: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Lightly toast the burger buns, then add the cooked Crack Chicken Burgers along with optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles to add crunch and freshness.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Seal patty edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • Handle ground chicken gently to keep burgers tender and juicy without overworking the meat.
  • Allow patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
  • Adjust ranch seasoning or add herbs like parsley for personalized flavor.
