Smoky BBQ Chicken Breast Burger | With Juicy Cheddar and Red Onion

Slice the chicken breast fillets in half horizontally to get cutlets of even thickness, then gently pound them. In a bowl, mix the olive oil with the smoked paprika, granulated garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Thoroughly coat the meat cutlets in the marinade and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Peel the red onions and slice them into rounds approximately 1 cm thick. Lightly brush them with olive oil so they caramelize nicely during grilling and do not burn.

Heat the grill or a ridged grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts and the red onion rings on it. Cook the meat for 4-5 minutes per side, and the onions for 3-4 minutes on each side until softened and nicely marked with grill lines.
