Ingredients

• 1 tbsp All-purpose seasoning (For the green seasoning)
• 1 tbsp Black pepper (For the green seasoning)
• 5 Garlic cloves (For the green seasoning)
• Coriander (A handful; for the green seasoning)
• Parsley (A handful; for the green seasoning)
• 1 Scotch bonnet pepper (For the green seasoning)
• Fresh thyme sprigs (For the green seasoning; amount unspecified)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (For the green seasoning)
• 1 Green pepper (For the green seasoning)
• 1 tbsp White vinegar (For the green seasoning)
• 3 Spring onions (For the green seasoning)
• 1 Lime juice (Juice of 1 lime; for the green seasoning)
• 2 Chicken breasts (Halved, then pounded relatively thin; source describes cutting each breast in half)
• 4 slices Gouda cheese
• 1 cup Mayonnaise (Transcript estimates about 1 cup for the sauce)
• 0.5 Lime juice (Juice of half a lime; for the sauce)
• 2 Burger buns (Fry in butter; bun type unspecified)
• 0.25 Lettuce (Sliced and washed; fraction refers to an unspecified lettuce unit)
• 1 Red onion (Finely sliced)
• 1 Tomato (Finely sliced)
• Butter (For frying the buns; amount unspecified)
• Oil (For oiling the griddle; amount unspecified)

Steps

1. 1

   Add all the green seasoning ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Halve each chicken breast, then pound the pieces until relatively thin, but not so thin that they lose their juiciness when cooked.

3. 3

   Put the chicken in a bowl. Add 1 cup of the green seasoning and mix to coat, reserving 2 tablespoons of the marinade for the sauce.

4. 4

   Wash and slice the lettuce; finely slice the red onion and tomato for the garnish.

5. 5

   Oil a griddle and cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side, until char lines appear. Baste with additional green seasoning as it cooks.

6. 6

   After flipping the chicken, add the Gouda slices. Lower the heat and cover the pan so the cheese melts.

7. 7

   Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

8. 8

   While the chicken rests, fry the burger buns in butter.

9. 9

   In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the reserved green seasoning and the juice of half a lime until smooth.

10. 10

    Assemble the burgers with the chicken, sauce, lettuce, red onion, and tomato on the toasted buns.

Notes

The post says to reserve 2 tablespoons of marinade for the sauce, but does not specify the amount of additional green seasoning used for basting. The lettuce amount is written as “1/4” without a unit or reference (such as a head). The video transcript mentions the sauce may be made milder with one tablespoon of green seasoning, while the post specifies two tablespoons reserved; the post's amount is used here. The source does not specify griddle temperature or how much butter or griddle oil to use.
