Instructions
-
Combine chopped habanero chiles, lemon juice, ginger, vegetable oil, paprika, garlic, sugar, and chile flakes in a bowl, then stir.
-
Spoon half of the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside. Add chicken breast fillets to the remaining sauce, stir to coat, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Mix flour and salt. Remove chicken from the sauce, shake off any excess, and lightly dredge in the flour-salt mixture.
-
Heat a nonstick pan with a little vegetable or canola oil. Pan-fry chicken breasts for several minutes on each side until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 F.
-
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the buns, then layering with romaine lettuce, a cooked chicken breast, provolone cheese, and the reserved chile sauce.
-
Serve immediately, optionally with a fresh green salad.
