Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced jalapeños, and ranch seasoning mix.

Using your hands, mix the ingredients until they are just combined.

6

8
Place the cooked chicken patty on top, cover with the top bun, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Form patties with a slight thumb indent in the center to prevent them from puffing up during cooking and ensure even doneness.
Don't overmix the meat when combining chicken, jalapeños, and ranch seasoning—this keeps patties tender rather than dense.
Top cheese during the last minute of cooking and loosely tent with foil to melt it without overcooking the patties.
Toast burger buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet to prevent them from getting soggy from toppings and avocado.

Substitutions

Ground turkey → ground chicken (use 3 tbsp ranch seasoning per 2 lbs; adjust salt if needed)
Fresh jalapeños → 3 tbsp diced pickled jalapeños (drain well to avoid excess moisture)
Pepper jack cheese → jalapeño cheddar or Monterey Jack (adjusts heat level slightly)
Bacon → crispy prosciutto or smoked turkey bacon (maintains saltiness and crunch)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooked burgers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or oven at 350°F wrapped in foil. Uncooked patties keep refrigerated for 24 hours or frozen up to 3 months.
