CHICKEN KOFTA RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound ground chicken breast
• 1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat broiler to high with the oven rack positioned 5-6 inches from the heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray foil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix together using your hands until just combined.
3. Wet hands and shape chicken mixture evenly around 5 to 6 skewers (if using wood, make sure to soak them in water for a couple hours first).
4. Broil for 8-10 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through and golden brown.

Notes: These are fragile and slightly difficult to form around the skewers, so they probably won't work on the grill. The broiler adds that same great grilled flavor without the risk of your kofta falling through the grill grates.
