Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 5
During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

While the patties are cooking, prepare the lemon mayonnaise by whisking together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Step 7
Toast the burger buns in a dry skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of lemon mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
