Begin by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture on both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the toppings. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Lightly toast the cut sides on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each croissant.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a grilled chicken breast, a slice of cheddar cheese, and 2-3 slices of tomato.
Top with the upper half of the croissant and gently press down. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
