- 1½ 7 Spices
- 1½ tsp. salt

- Finely chop 1 medium/large onion and ½ bunch of fresh parsley.

- Skillet Instructions: Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken kafta and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Add a large, sliced onion and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onion softens. Finally, add a sliced tomato and cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grilling Instructions: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the kafta for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to get grill marks on all sides and ensure even cooking.
