Instructions

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make the Honey-Mustard Mayonnaise combine the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and Worcestershire. Mix well, cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Place a medium-size heat-proof skillet on the grill. Add the butter and melt. Add the mushrooms and cook and cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Place on the side of the grill to just keep warm. To make the patties, combine the chicken, green onion, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix until just mixed through. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion to fit the bun, making sure the patties are of equal thickness. When the grill is ready, brush the grill with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook, turning once until just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once the burgers are turned, top each burger with the ham, mozzarella and swiss cheese and cook 5 to 6 minutes longer. During the last few minutes of grilling, place the rolls, cut side down, on the edges of the grill to warm through and until lightly browned. To assemble the burgers, spread the cut sides of the rolls with the honey-mustard mayonnaise. Top with a lettuce leaf, a patty and spoon the mushrooms on top of each patty, dividing equally. Top with the top roll and serve. Makes 6 burgers.
