For a chicken burger...this was really tasty...I first thought that the mixture was really soupy...but once I put it in the fry pan and just left it alone...it firmed upped...I did enjoy the flavors...I also omitted the mint...this would have received 5 stars...but the burger with all the yummy stuffing's didn't fit into the pita bread...and I found some large ones...so either make twice as many burgers or put these yummy things on a bun...thanks for posting the recipe...made for Spring 212 PAC!
