Loved these! Used leftover chicken from a previous meal and these were a huge hit! Only problem I encountered was my "cake" trying to fall apart. I think I had too much chicken in mine though. I also used roasted peppers that I had in the freezer instead of sun-dried tomatoes, but we loved it just the same!

    Great chicken cakes. I used raw chicken and just cooked them longer. Great flavor and easy to do. Made Sheila's Best Balsamic Dressing for the dressing and served with Kittencal's Italian Zucchini-Mozzarella Patties.

    this was really good. And VERY VERSATILE. Instead of serving this over greens, I served it over buttered & seasoned fettucini noodles. And I doubled it....so the next night, we had it over greens. Tomorrow, I'm having it as a sandwich on ciabatta bread!

    This is easy and really tasty. One of these on a pretty salad would be a perfect first course for company. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't like them. Great recipe!!
