This Chicken Kafta Burger recipe is an easy delicious Mediterranean recipe. It is made with ground chicken, fresh herbs, and spices.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 medium red or white onion quartered
- ½ cup curly parsley minced
- 2 teaspoons seven spices
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- ½ cup panko crumbs
- ½ tablespoon Himalayan salt
Instructions
- In a food processor place cubed chicken breast and grind, then add in panko crumbs, a small red or white onion, parsley, 7 spices, white pepper and salt. Grind until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Oil spray your hands then take about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixed chicken, form a round ball then form into a ½ inch patty.
- At this point you can bake or sear the chicken patties, it is up to you.
- To cook it on the stove top using a skillet or a griddle, generously grease the pan with avocado oil on medium-high heat. Place the chicken patties to cook then lower to medium heat. Cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- These patties can also be grilled outdoors OR baked at 350°F for 35-40 minutes flipping once.
- Enjoy with a burger bun with your favorite toppings. Make it low-carb and use iceberg lettuce instead of a bun.
Notes
- After chopping parsley and onions, remove excess liquid using a paper towel to dry it as much as possible.
- It’s better to use fresh ingredients than dried ones, as fresh parsley gives a more authentic flavor to Middle Eastern Chicken Kafta Burger.
- Wet your hands with a bit of water or oil when you form the burgers. This will help you in shaping the burgers, and the mixture doesn’t stick to your hands.
- When arranging the burgers on the griddle, make sure that they don’t touch each other, and let them chill for a few minutes to avoid their falling apart when grilled.
