Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to coat them evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Assembling the Burger

  1. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on a separate pan or under a broiler until golden.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Once the chicken is cooked, place one chicken breast on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced pickles, and drizzle with barbecue sauce.

  3. 5

    Finish the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun over the toppings to complete the burger.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Burger

    Cut the burger in half if desired and serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
