Cooking Instructions:
1. To prepare Chicken Koobideh Kabob, place the chicken breasts on the kitchen board, separate the bones from the meat, grind them twice in a meat grinder or blender, and pour them into a large bowl.

3. Now peel and wash the garlic, grate it, and add it to the other ingredients. Next, we grind coriander seeds and sprinkle salt, black pepper, and turmeric powder on the chicken meat.
4. Then, we knead the ingredients well with our hands until the spices’ flavor reaches all parts of the meat. After that, we cover the bowl with cellophane.
5. Then, we put the bowl in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours because the meat rests and tastes well. After the ingredients rest, we remove the bowl from the refrigerator.
6. At this stage, we grease the bottom of the pan we want with a little oil, pour the ingredients into the pan, and spread them with the palm of the pan with the same diameter until all the spots of the ingredients are uniform.
7. Then, we put the pan on the heat and let the meat absorb its water. We brewed the saffron, poured the butter into a small pan, and put it on low heat until it melted.
8. Now, we add saffron to the butter, and when the Kabab Koobideh Morgh is ready, we gently cut the meat with long slices like a Koobideh Kabab. Then, we turn the cut kebabs slowly with a spatula and a spoon.
9. Then, we apply a mixture of butter and saffron on the kebabs with a brush because they do not dry them, and they also get the aroma of saffron
. After it is fried, we turn it again to apply the butter and saffron mixture on the other side.
