In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.

Shape the mixture into equally sized patties, about ½-inch thick.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Transfer the patties to a plate and allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes.

Serve the rested patties on buns with toppings of your choice.
