Chicken Burgers with Ranch Coleslaw

Ingredients
3 cups packaged coleslaw mix
1/2 cup prepared ranch salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 cup minced onion
1-1/4 pounds ground chicken
1/2 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 kaiser rolls, split

Directions
1. Heat grill.

2. In a medium bowl combine the coleslaw mix, dressing and lemon peel;
cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

3. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and
cook 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat; cool.

4. Cover a cookie sheet with plastic wrap. Lightly mix chicken, cooked
onion, zucchini, cheese, salt and pepper in large bowl just until
combined. Drop 4 equal mounds of chicken mixture on prepared sheet.
Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and gently press mounds into
four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

5. Grill burgers over medium-hot* heat about 5 minutes per side or
until
browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in side of
burger
registers 165 degrees F.**

6. Meanwhile, grill rolls cut sides down until toasted, about 1
minute.
Arrange burgers on bottoms of rolls. Divide coleslaw among burgers;
top
with roll tops. Makes 4 servings.


*Note: To test for medium-hot heat, you should be able to hold your
hand
over the coals at the height of the food for 3 seconds before you have
to pull away.

**Note: The internal color of burgers is not a reliable doneness
indicator. Ground chicken burgers must be cooked to 165 degrees F. An
instant-read meat thermometer ensures perfectly cooked burgers. If
using
a digital instant-read thermometer, insert the tip of the thermometer
into the food at least 1/4 of an inch for 10 seconds. If using a dial
instant-read thermometer, insert the thermometer through the side of
the
burger to a depth of 2 to 3 inches to get an accurate reading.
