Directions

  1. Prepare chicken breast by flattening to desired, equal thickness with a meat tenderizer. Place chicken breasts in large Ziploc bag and set aside.

  4. Mix well and return Ziploc with chicken to fridge to marinade for 3 hours (or overnight).
  5. Preheat BBQ to medium high. BBQ chicken breasts until internal temperature reaches 170 F (about 5-7 minutes per side), flipping once.
  6. Place a slice of Bothwell Smoked Gouda Cheese on each chicken breast. Close lid of BBQ until cheese is melted (about 1 minute). Remove chicken from grill.
  7. Prepare your burger bun with remaining curry yogurt sauce and other desired toppings. Place chicken breast on bun and enjoy!
