    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken cutlets in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    2

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

    3

    During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast, then cover the pan or grill to allow the cheese to melt.

    4

    In a small bowl, combine the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. If desired, add a pinch of garlic powder for a more intense flavor.

    5

    Meanwhile, halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry pan or lightly brushed with olive oil until golden brown on the cut sides.

    6

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

    7

    Spread a little mayonnaise on the cut sides of the toasted buns.

    8

    Assemble the burger: on the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheesy chicken breast, the mozzarella-Parmesan mixture, tomato, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

    9

    Serve immediately, preferably with french fries or a fresh salad. Tip: For an extra cheesy experience, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan on the toasted bun before assembling the burger!
