    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  2. 2
    Mix the chicken breast with the onion, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil and salt until evenly combined.
  3. 3
    Chill the mixture 30 minutes.
    Refrigerator
  4. 4
    Shape the mixture into long finger-shaped patties.
  5. 5
    Heat a grill to high heat.

  6. 6
    Grill the kebabs 3 minutes per side, until they are browned outside and done to your liking.
    Tongs
    💡Don't press the meat or flip it more than once: the juices run out and the meat dries out. It releases from the grate once the underside is browned.
