- 1/3 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into
- 1/4-inch dice
- Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
- 4 kaiser rolls, split
- For the spicy coleslaw, in a bowl combine the mayonnaise, hot sauce, lime juice, parsley, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
- Add the sliced cabbage, red bell peppers, and half of the scallions, stir to coat the cabbage, and reserve the spicy slaw for topping the burgers.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, barbecue sauce, Cheddar dice, reserved scallions, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Score the meat with your hand to mark 4 equal portions.
- Form each portion into a 1-inch-thick patty.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drizzle EVOO over the patties and place them in the hot skillet.
- Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the patties are firm to the touch and cooked through.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the kaiser rolls.
- Transfer the burgers to the bottoms of the toasted rolls, pile some spicy coleslaw on top, and then replace the roll tops.
