Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken cutlets in the mixture for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side, until they have nice grill marks and are cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, brush the chicken breasts with teriyaki sauce, allowing it to caramelize on the grill.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each chicken breast, then cover the skillet or grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or with a little olive oil until golden brown on the inside.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
Spread a little mayonnaise on the inside of the toasted buns for a smoother taste.
Assemble the burger: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the teriyaki glazed chicken breast, tomato, and red onion. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then top with the upper bun.
Serve immediately, preferably with French fries or a fresh cucumber salad. Tip: For an extra intense flavor, make your own homemade teriyaki sauce from soy sauce, honey, and ginger!
