Butterfly the chicken breasts to create thinner pieces for even cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken piece during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
While the chicken cooks, slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Toast the sandwich buns lightly in a skillet or toaster, if desired.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Assemble the sandwiches: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.
