In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the chicken mixture into 8 equal parts and shape them into thin patties.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, prepare the big mac sauce by mixing dairy-free mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Chop the iceberg lettuce into thin shreds. Slice the tomato into thin slices.
Toast the sesame seed buns lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden.
To assemble each sandwich, spread a spoonful of the Big Mac sauce on the bottom bun, then layer with shredded lettuce, a cooked chicken patty, a slice of dairy-free cheddar cheese, and a few slices of tomato.
Add the middle bun (the bottom half of another sesame bun), spread with more Big Mac sauce, lettuce, another chicken patty, and pickles.
Complete the sandwich with the top half of the sesame bun. Repeat the building process for the remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
