Chicken Kafta is just Lebanese style chicken kababs, and they're my favorite. These are so delicious and so versatile. You can serve them over a bed of rice, jeweled with toasted almonds and sumac onions.

This recipe will become a family favorite that tastes just like you got it from your favorite Lebanese restaurant...
