    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken cutlets with the mixture. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    2

    Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are cooked through.

    3

    During the last minute of grilling, brush the chicken breasts with BBQ sauce and let it caramelize on the grill.

    4

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast, then cover the pan or grill to allow the cheese to melt.

    5

    Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and toast them in a dry pan or with a little olive oil until golden brown on the inside.

    6

    Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.

    7

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then spread it on the inside of the toasted buns.

    8

    Assemble the burger: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then add the BBQ chicken breast, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.

    9

    Serve immediately, preferably with French fries or fresh coleslaw. Tip: For an extra BBQ flavor, drizzle the chicken with a little more sauce before serving!
