Asian chicken burgers with pickled red cabbage

These amazing Asian-inspired chicken burgers make a great, healthier alternative to the usual beef burgers. Using chicken breast meat, with pickled red cabbage on the side adds an extra kick. Perfect for the BBQ season. If you want to make them even healthier (and still with an Asian twist) erve on round lettuce leaves instead of buns – the choice is yours.
