Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Vegetables
  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

  • Final Steps and Assembly
  • Lightly toast your buns on the grill while the chicken is cooking.
  • Prepare toppings by caramelizing onions until soft and golden, and marinate the chicken if needed.
  • Place lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the bottom bun to assemble the burger, followed by the grilled chicken with melted cheese.
  • Top with caramelized onions and a dollop of mayonnaise, ketchup, or chili sauce.
  • Cover with the top bun and secure it with a sandwich skewer.
