In a fire proof skillet cook the diced bacon until brown and crisp. Remove the bacon from the drippings. Stir the red bell pepper and sweet onion into the bacon drippings and cook until onion is transparent. Set the skillet off the flame and cool approximatley 10 minutes. Stir the corn and diced green chilis (undrained)into the pepper, onion and bacon drippings. Stir this mixture into the seasoned chicken, mixing well. Stir in the grated cheese making sure the mixture is well combined. Shape into 6 equal size patties. Reduce the grill heat to medium. Brush the grill with the vegatable oil and grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side until burgers are well done. Remove the patties and clean the grill with a wire brush. Lightly oil the grill again and toast the rolls. To assemble the burgers, place pattie on the bottom half of a toasted roll, top with the slaw and top half of the roll.
