Chicken Kofta

Super easy and super delicious! A healthy Chicken Kofta meal that will knock your socks off ;)

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs Chicken Breast, ground or finely chopped (using this to keep this lean, but most recipes use thighs or a mix)

• 1 Large Onion (grated or fine chop in a food processor)

• 3 Garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 Cup Parsley, chopped

• 1/2 Cup Mint Leaves, chopped

• 2 Tsp Aleppo pepper

• 1 1/2 Tsp Coriander, ground

• 1 Tsp Cumin

• 1/2 Tsp Cardamom, ground

• 1 Tsp Paprika

• 2 Tsp Salt

• 1/4 Tsp Pepper

• 2 Tbsp EVOO

Directions:

1. Heat up grill, medium temp.

2. Prep your chicken, I like to chop mine so I’ll mince it until almost fine texture. If your using ground, you’re ready to go.

3. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix by hand until everything has been incorporated.

4. Form football shaped patties, approx. 8, and drizzle with a little more olive oil.

5. Grill about 5-6 minutes on both sides or until done (about 165 degrees in the center.)

6. Serve with whatever sides or sauces, baba ghanoush, hummus, or tzatziki go well, and enjoy!
