About this recipe
Fire up your taste buds with this juicy Jamaican jerk chicken burger, packed with bold Caribbean flavour and ready in just 30 minutes. Tender chicken breasts are marinated in Jerk Centre sauce, fresh thyme, olive oil and lime juice, then griddled until beautifully charred and succulent.
Each toasted bun is layered with spicy jerk chicken, sweet mango, ripe tomato and crisp Little Gem lettuce, creating the perfect balance of heat, freshness and tropical sweetness. Finish it with an extra drizzle of your favourite Jerk Centre sauce, plus mayonnaise or ketchup for an easy burger that is bursting with flavour.
Choose Taste from the Ancestors for gentle warmth, Duppy Conqueror for a medium kick or Badman Sauce when you want serious Scotch bonnet heat. Perfect for summer barbecues, weekend dinners or a quick Caribbean-inspired meal.
Instructions
STEP 1
Put the chicken breasts in between pieces of cling film and bash with a rolling pin to flatten. Mix together the thyme, oil, jerk seasoning and half the lime juice in a bowl. Add the chicken and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
STEP 2
Heat a griddle pan until hot and cook the chicken for 4-5 mins each side or until cooked through. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, toast the cut sides of the buns for 1-2 mins.
STEP 3
Put the chicken on the buns and top with the mango, tomato and a handful of lettuce. Squeeze over the rest of the lime and top with more Jerk Sauce, mayo and or, ketchup, if you like.
