Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1.5 Ibs ground chicken
- 1/3 cup Parsley dried or fresh, finely chopped
- 1/2 small yellow onion finely chopped (I used 1/2 cup Thrive Life Freeze-dried chopped onions)
- 2 cloves garlic mined
- 1.5 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ½ teaspoon coriander ground
- ½ teaspoon salt finely ground
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Instructions:
- Starting with the ground chicken, place all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix up the ingredients using your hands, squishing the meat and seasoning together until well blended.
- Form the chicken mixture into *oblong-shaped kafta, about 1 inch thick. You should have enough to form at least 8-9. You can also use a wooden skewer to help you form them or you can do without.
- Before cooking the kafta, grease the grill grates or inside grill pan, and set to medium-high heat. When the grill or pan is good and hot, transfer the kafta to the grill. Grill on each side for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way.
- Serve hot with Lebanese rice and salad!

Notes
*When forming the kafta chicken mixture into oblong kafta shapes, the mixture will be a little sticky, but it is okay and I promise you that it will cook well on the grill. The form keeps its shape. Just be sure to grease the grill with cooking oil of some kind or spray with cooking spray.
