Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with olive oil spray and cook burgers 5 minutes on each side. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion should read 170 degrees. Meanwhile, coat hamburger rolls with olive oil spray and toast in a toaster oven. Place cooked chicken burgers on bottom half of each roll. Place 1 tomato slice on top. Garnish the plate with extra slices of tomato. Cover the tomato with lettuce leaf. Close with top of roll and serve.
