I made something similar to this on my own prior to seeing this recipe because I wanted a chicken burger. I didnt use the ranch at all and I used ground chicken instead of breasts. I made patties and then wrapped them in maple bacon. I topped them with fresh garden cucumber and they were delicious.

This recipe was amazing! We used chicken breast tenders and decreased the cook time. Turned out to be one of the best things we've made yet! Very easy, too.

Good and very easy to make. The chicken was really moist. I did find that the bacon burnt quickly. Next time I would BBQ on Low to Medium instead. I would definitely make this again.
