Notes
👪 Serving sizeThis recipe makes 6 Tree Burgers/Chicken Breast burgers. However, if you need to reduce or increase the servings, simply click on the blue servings number in the recipe card, select the number of servings you'd like and the ingredient amounts will adjust accordingly.🌡️StoringFridge: If you want to make this ahead, I'd recommend you do not put it all together until just before serving. Cook the chicken and mushroom, melt the cheese on top, then store in a separate container from the sliced cucumbers and ranch dressing. If you have leftovers, I also recommend storing the ingredients separately.Reheating: Reheat the chicken in the microwave for about 45 seconds-11/2 minutes (depending on your microwave) then add to bun.
