In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165Β°F (75Β°C).
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Slice the burger buns in half and spread a light layer of butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and prepare your other toppings, including lettuce leaves and pickles.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a chicken patty with melted cheese. Layer 2 slices of crispy bacon, 1 lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomato, and 2 pickle slices on top. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of the bun and place it on top to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
