These grilled chicken burgers topped with melted cheese and roasted bell peppers and paired with a simple stir-together pesto mayonnaise are sure to become a new favorite meal. They can be made indoors or out and will be on the table in less than 30 minutes. Swap tomatoes for the roasted red pepper or spinach leaves or butter lettuce for the romaine, if you like or have those ingredients on hand. When melting the cheese, you may want to cover the pan or grill to speed the process. Serve the burgers with a simple side salad to complete the meal.
