Make rice dishes healthier, see how!
Mix all chicken ingredients together in a bowl. When yogurt and all spices are evenly distributed, use the mixture to form oval-shaped balls for the traditional kofta shape, or feel free to make any shape you like.
After all of the balls of chicken are ready, heat a tsp. of olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook thoroughly. When chicken is done, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra crunch (if you’d like!) and set aside.
For the salad: Mix all herbs, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil together. Press the herbs a few times to make your vinaigrette and set aside. Add the cucumbers and tomatoes to lettuce. Pour dressing over lettuce sparingly, to taste, and top with pita chips. Add the chicken and enjoy!
