Preparation Steps
1
Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
2
In a bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and chopped parsley. Stuff the chicken breasts with this mixture, pressing the edges together to seal in the filling.
3
In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture all over the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts.
4
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
5
Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or brushed with a little 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 burgers: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the stuffed chicken breast, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
9
Serve immediately, preferably with fries or a fresh salad. Tip: For an extra crispy crust, coat the chicken in breadcrumbs before grilling!
