Start by preparing the Big Mac sauce. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sweet relish, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 teaspoon of mustard until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetarian chicken patties to the skillet and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, split the sesame seed bun into three parts: the top bun, middle bun, and bottom bun. Lightly toast each bun section in the same skillet, about 1 minute on each side, until slightly golden.
Once the patties and buns are ready, you're set to assemble the Vegetarian Chicken Big Mac.
Place the bottom bun on a clean plate and spread a generous amount of Big Mac sauce over it. Top with a handful of lettuce, one slice of American cheese, and one vegetarian chicken patty.
Place the middle bun on top of this stack. Spread a layer of the Big Mac sauce on the middle bun, followed by lettuce, the second slice of American cheese, and the second vegetarian chicken patty.
Sprinkle with chopped onions and place pickle slices on top of the second patty.
Cover the stack with the top bun. Press down gently to hold the sandwich together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Big Mac!
