    Preparation Steps

    1

    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.

    2

    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.

    3

    During the last 5 minutes of baking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast to melt.

    4

    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.

    5

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

    6

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on the cut sides of the toasted buns.

    7

    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.

    8

    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!
