In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, bacon, cheddar, ranch seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, and pepper.
Form into 4 patties. Wetting your hands with water will make this a lot easier.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat (use oil if needed).
Cook patties 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temp reaches 165°F. Cover them with a lid while cooking to help keep them moist.
Top with cheddar slices and let melt. I put a small amount of water in the pan and put the lid on. This helps the cheese melt faster.
Serve on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, and ranch.
