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.
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.
During the last minute of grilling, brush the chicken breasts with BBQ sauce and let it caramelize on the grill.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast, then cover the pan or grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and toast them in a dry pan or with a little olive oil until golden brown on the inside.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then spread it on the inside of the toasted buns.
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.
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!
