Chicken Kofta Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 slice sandwich bread
• 1.5 lbs. ground chicken
• 1/2 cup yellow onion (grated)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1.5 Tbsp fresh mint (chopped)
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 egg
• olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Toast the bread until golden brown then place it in a bowl and cover it with water. Then squeeze the bread to wring out the water. This will cause the bread to fall apart into smaller pieces.

2. 2

   Place the bread into a large mixing bowl and add in the ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, spices, a dash of salt and pepper, the egg, and a drizzle of olive oil. Using clean hands, combine all the ingredients together in the bowl.

3. 3

   Next, wet your hands and shape the chicken mixture into 8 oval patties that are about 1 inch thick. The mixture will be a little sticky. Place the patties onto a tray and refrigerate while the grill is heating up.

4. 4

   Heat your gas grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill and grill each side for 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. 5

   Remove from the grill and serve alongside your favorite Mediterranean sides and sauces and enjoy!
