One of our favorite easy dinners as of late are these super flavorful Chicken Peanut Burgers. With peanut sauce in the chicken patties themselves and in the crunchy slaw, they're definitely for peanut sauce lovers. The chicken breast burgers are finished off with gooey Monterrey jack cheese, plenty of chopped peanuts, and served on a toasted whole-wheat bun.

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken breast
- 1/2 medium onion, grated
- 3 large garlic cloves, grated
- 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, divided

- When the burgers are about 1-2 minutes shy of cooked through, pile the cheese on top of the patties. Add two tablespoons of water and cover with a lid or if you're using a griddle, cover another large skillet (upsidedown) so you can steam the burgers and melt the cheese.
- While the patties cook, add the slaw to a medium bowl. Stir with the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cilantro. Toss to combine. Season with to taste salt and pepper.
