Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, garlic, parsley, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a minute before serving.
Notes
