Very tasty burgers! The chicken was great with the coleslaw. Served on whole-grain buns and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Boomette, both the coleslaw and the chicken burgers were very tasty, and wonderful together in crispy ciabatta rolls. We r-e-a-l-l-y enjoyed them. The recipe was also surprisingly quick to make, always a major plus! I used a savoy cabbage, light sour cream and - because I have never used rice vinegar - red wine vinegar. The only change I made to the burgers was to add some garlic. The burgers were moist and flavoursome and complemented the coleslaw superbly. I'll certainly be making these again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Very good! The kids loved these sandwiches and loved to messily eat them. What really makes this is the slaw. I did add some finely minced green onion to it. Thanks.
