Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drizzle with olive oil. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked through and lightly browned.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast to melt.
Meanwhile, halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or lightly brushed with olive oil until golden brown on the cut sides.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on the cut sides of the toasted buns.
Assemble the burger: Place lettuce leaves on the bottom bun, followed by the baked cheese-topped chicken breast, tomato, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately, preferably with fries or a fresh salad. Tip: For an even more flavorful result, drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice before serving!
