  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Wash and dry lettuce, then tear into bits. Slice tomatoes into rounds. Lightly toast buns until golden.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, ranch seasoning, and cheddar cheese. Gently combine, shape into patties with a small indentation in the center.
