     These are really good. I have made them several times and I find that mixing all ingredients before cooking the chicken works better for me. My husband and I make them every few weeks for a lunch or a light dinner on the weekends. Very flavorful and easy to put together. - 2/3/09

     I call these chicken llapingachos. Llapingachos are potato patties I'd eat in Ecuador and these taste so similar. I do not add teh BBQ sauce. I weighed the granules and breast and it came out to be 1 1/3 c granules and 1 lg. breast for me. - 4/9/10

     This was delicious. I loved it. Will definitely make this again. BTW, the patties tend to get firmer as they cool down. I had some leftover and the leftover patties were much firmer than the patties that were eaten while hot/warm. - 12/25/09

     Really tasty! Can't believe mashed potatos work in a patty form. Even the picky boyfriend had seconds! - 9/21/09

     I have made these 2 times in 2 weeks. First I used a baked potatoe and shredded it. Then I used the instant mashed potatoes. I used A-1 sauce instead of bbq sauce. I make ahead and we can just heat them for a great burger!! Flavor is great!! - 9/11/09

     I leave out the herbs and just season with the onions, BBQ sauce & taco seasoning. My family loves them on wheat dinner rolls. - 8/31/09

     Thank you for the recipe, I enjoyed it. After reading the comments, I added 1/4 cup grated summer squash for wetness, it worked well. - 8/17/09

     I thought these were very yummy! My husband even liked them. They tasted a lot like crab cakes. They were kinda hard to keep together, but not that bad. I think next time I MAY try the canned/packaged chicken - saves time on shredding. - 8/14/09
  • BLEGAN18
     It was okay. My family didn't like it, but I did. Next time I would use a bit more spice. - 8/9/09
  • BUSYWIFEANDMOM
     These were good, but I tweeked the recipe and made it spicier, adding chipotle seasoning and 1/2 c. cheddar. The family really liked them, but I hated trying to coat them in bread crumbs. If I can figure out an easier way to do that I would make them again. - 8/5/09
  • HGILLIA1
     I made this for dinner for my husband and I, I enjoyed it. He did not. - 7/20/09
  • YOWSER
     I made my own taco seasoning and used crushed shredded wheat in place of the bread crumbs. Simply fabulous. Next time I will make a daal and curried veggies as side dishes. Thank you for sharing. - 7/17/09

     Tasty overall, but a lot of work to put together. Shredding the chicken took a long time. In the end, the patties didn't stick together and it ended up being more of a chicken/potato spread. - 6/24/09

     after reading comments, this is what I changed (and it was AWESOME!):
    used uncooked cx, mixed all in the food processor, used crushed wheat crackers to coat, BAKED on a pizza sheet with a pan under to catch the drippings.
    Turned out great w/a little dark meat in for some fat so it's not so dry!! - 6/4/09
  • RISSISBORED
     I think this would be a bit better if the potatoes were made with a little bit less liquid--overall a tasty way to use up those leftovers! - 6/1/09

     My husband & I LOVE sweet potatoes... Next time I make this I will use that instead of the instant potatoes,,, This will also make it a much healthier recipe... - 3/19/09
