Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then toss the chicken cutlets in the mixture. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
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.
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.
Cook the bacon slices in a dry skillet until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Meanwhile, halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or brushed with a little olive oil until golden brown on the cut sides.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, then spread it on the cut sides of the toasted buns.
Assemble the burger: on the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheesy chicken breast, crispy bacon, tomato, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately, preferably with French fries or a fresh salad. Tip: For an even richer flavor, add a little avocado cream or an extra mustard sauce!
