Ingredients

1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breast)

1 fresh mint leaves

1 small bunch flat leaf Italian parsley

2 small shallots

2 garlic cloves

1 large egg

¼ cup dried breadcrumbs

2 Tablespoons shawarma spice (See notes below)

Directions

Grind

Add the chicken breast to the bowl of a food processor. Grind until the chicken is minced.

Combine

Add the fresh mint, parsley, shallots, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, shawarma spice, and salt. Pulse again until the ingredients are well combined.

Shape

Using a small ice cream scoop, shape the meat mixture into small balls (approximately two tablespoons each).

Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease the basket with cooking oil spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Air Fry

Arrange the chicken kofta balls in an even layer in the air fryer, leaving space between each piece. Air fry for 13-15 minutes or until the chicken kofta is fully cooked and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
