In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Add onions, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook until onions turn a rich golden brown color and a few lightly crisp, stirring often. Remove from heat, discard bay leaf, and stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Cook chicken until no longer pink and the interior reaches 160°F, turning once, about 4 minutes per side.
Top each cooked chicken breast with 2 oz. cheese immediately after flipping.
Spread the bottom half of each bun with 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Top with fresh spinach, then the cheese-topped chicken, caramelized onions, and finally the top bun half.
Serve immediately.
