Best Ranch Chicken Patties With Creamy Cheddar Sauce Recipes

RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
• Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
• Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
• While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
• When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
• Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

RANCH CHICKEN PATTIES

Steps:

• NOTE - my cans of chicken are 13 ounce cans so I had to use a couple extra tablespoons of dressing.
• In one bowl, mix the egg and ranch dressing together.
• In another bowl mix the chicken and bread crumbs.
• Add the dressing mix to the chicken mixture - stir well. If it seems a bit too dry add a tablespoon at a time of more ranch dressing. The mixture should be just moist enough to bring together into a patty that holds well.
• Use your hands to mold into patties -- mine made about 5 patties -- depends on the size you want.
• In a skillet with a small amount of oil, brown the patties -- about 4-5 minutes per side on medium to medium high heat. You want to be sure the middle gets cooked and the outsides get nice and brown.
• Refrigerates well. I think it might freeze well, too, but I haven't tried it yet.

RANCH CHICKEN PATTIES WITH CREAMY CHEDDAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix chicken, panko, saltines, sour cream, eggs, ranch dressing mix, mustard, onion, black pepper, and parsley together in a bowl until well combined. Shape chicken mixture into 8 patties, approximately 3/4-inch thick.
• Pour panko onto a plate, coat patties, and place on a platter. Chill for 1 hour or overnight.
• Coat a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook patties until golden brown and heated through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Place a layer of paper towels on a baking rack, transfer patties to paper towels to drain.
• Combine soup and broth in a saucepan; heat until just boiling, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir sour cream and green onions into sauce. Serve patties with sauce on top.
