Very delicious recipe!! I agree with all the positive comments. This site is totally free and it has changed my life for the better as it has for so many others. If you don't like the idea of buying the cookbook, sub the two ingredients and move on. We've all gained so much from SP. It's great!! - 4/28/12

I plan on trying these this weekend! As for the reviews below about posting a recipe without the full ingredients needed (barbecue sauce and barbecue rub) - You guys, just be creative and make your own barbecue sauce with low fat ingredients. I'm actually thinking of trying a mango salsa with this - 2/28/12

It's a shame that the only reason that this recipe has a low rating is b/c some decided to rate it poorly based on some of the ingredients being from the cookbook. This site is an amazing resource, and all of its core functions are FREE. If you're offended by one cookbook recipe, join WW - and pay! - 4/27/12

How long have you people been cooking? Substitution is the first thing I thought, because I wasn't going to buy special seasonings (before realizing they are recipes). The idea is great, and I would add some al dente vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, or peppers to the chicken before cooking. - 4/2/12

Ladies, I suggest that buying the cookbook it good for many reasons. It has more than just recipes. It has much nutritional information, preparation information, substitution information. It ia a great cookbook. The only thing that I would have suggested for the cookbook is more a notebook style.

I made this using ground turkey (it was there), crushed rice krispies (gluten-free), and my own spices and BBQ sauce. The only thing I would add to the recipe are tips for cooking the burgers. The onion made them want to fall apart. I might have used a bit too much onion, though. Great recipe! - 8/7/12

What is the big deal!! Get some low sodium rub and some sweet and spicy sauce at the grocery store. Most of us who are trying to lose weight or just eat healthy may already have products that we can use in place of the Chef Meg stuff already in our cupboards and pantries! C'mon people!!! - 2/27/12
