Made an ollllld CL recipe, Chicken Burgers with Peanut Sauce.

[applecrisp]

I'm trying to use up some things in my freezer (especally the few foil packets of chicken etc) and the pantry, so this recipe definitely fit the bill since it used up the ground chicken (the recipe called for chicken that you add to the food processor, but I shortened that step).

The mixture is a bit sticky and messy, so definitely wet your hands. I cooked up in a skillet since I don't have a grill --- plus I would think (but don't have any experience grilling that it might be a bit of mess, but I could be wrong. I did cut back on the salt (which I would recommend) and didn't have any chile paste or sprouts. I had some cilantro corn orange slaw (clearly I don't recall the actual name ) with it.

Thought I would post.

Thanks to Jewel for posting this recipe a few years back.

Oh yeah, I remember this recipe - it is really good, although ITA that you should shape the patties with wet hands to prevent sticking. I think I used lettuce instead of the sprouts. Will have to make it again soon.

ClaraB -- I think I made this recipe a few times, but not in years. The recipe is from 2003. It was kind of a gloppy mess when forming the burgers. I don't have a grill so I either do in a skillet or broil.

Maybe its time for me to make another CL recipe that I haven't made in a few years. Perhaps its time to make an old fav, CL's Marbled Banana Bread. Hmmm.

I love that one too! My absolute fave and go-to banana bread!
