Forget healthy food that tastes like sacrifice. These sheet pan chicken Adana-style kebabs are packed with garlic, herbs, warm spices, and just enough heat. They are so easy, so good, and the perfect high protein meal prep.
This is one of those meals that feels like it shouldn’t be this easy… but it is.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground chicken
1 small yellow onion
3-4 garlic cloves
1/2 small red bell pepper
Large handful fresh parsley
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp sumac
1 tsp Aleppo pepper or chili flakes
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
Salt & pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Here is how I made it:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425°F.
2️⃣ Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper & parsley to a food processor. Pulse until finely minced.
3️⃣ Add the ground chicken to a bowl along with the onion mixture, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and the spices: 1 tbsp sumac, 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (or chili flakes), 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp turmeric, salt & pepper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
4️⃣ Mix really well, and transfer to a sheet pan and spread evenly across the bottom.
5️⃣ Smooth the edges, then cut long vertical lines through the chicken to form individual kebabs with space between them. Add little indentations with the back of a spatula.
6️⃣ Bake for 18-20 mins, then move to the top rack and broil for 2-3 mins to get some color.
7️⃣ For the Smoky Paprika Yogurt Sauce: Mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 small grated garlic clove, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper or chili flakes, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
8️⃣ For the bright tomato salad: Combine 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered, 1/8 white onion thinly sliced, 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, 1 tsp sumac, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for a few minutes.
