Method
Add the chicken mince, salt, black pepper, grated garlic, mayonnaise and grated squeezed onion to a bowl. Mix just until evenly combined; do not overwork the mince.
Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and loosely shape into balls. Keep chilled until ready to cook.
Heat a flat pan or skillet on medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp butter. Once hot, place the chicken portions on the pan and immediately press each one down firmly to form thin smash patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until well browned and the edges are cooked. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Place 1 cheese slice over each patty. Sprinkle 1 tbsp water around the patties, immediately cover the pan and cook for 1 minute, until the cheese melts. Remove the patties and set aside.
Add another 1 tbsp butter to the same pan. Add the onion slices, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and grill until lightly charred and softened on both sides.
Place the cut burger bun directly into the remaining butter and toast until golden.
Mix mayonnaise and ketchup to make a burger sauce. Set it aside.
Spread mayonnaise on both toasted bun halves. Place one cheesy chicken patty on the bottom bun, top with the second patty, add the grilled onion and close with the top bun. Serve immediately while the patties are hot and the cheese is melted.
