Finely chopped mint, crisp bell peppers, and fresh green chillies transform humble chicken mince into these aromatic, high-protein kebabs. A base of earthy cumin, paprika, and a touch of ginger and garlic powder provides a well-rounded spice profile that balances the brightness of the herbs, ensuring each bite remains succulent rather than dry.
Using a mix of breadcrumbs and corn flour helps these patties maintain their shape on a hot grill, though they are equally effective when pan-fried or baked. The addition of tomato paste adds a subtle depth and a hint of acidity that cuts through the richness of the chicken, making them a balanced option for a quick weeknight dinner or a larger spread.
Since these kebabs hold up well in the freezer, they are a practical choice for meal prep or planning ahead for busy periods. Simply keep a stash on hand to pull out whenever you need a reliable, freezer-friendly meal that comes together without much fuss, whether served alongside a fresh cucumber salad or tucked into warm pita bread.
