If dill is unavailable use dill stir-in paste available from your supermarket produce department.

For the dill sauce (makes 1¼ cups)

¾ cupGreek-style plain yoghurt
1 TbspLemon rind, finely grated
1 TbspLemon juice
2 TbspMayonnaise
4 TbspChopped mint
4 TbspChopped dill
2Garlic cloves, crushed

For the chicken bites

500 gChicken mince (Main)
2 TbspLemon rind, finely grated
2 TbspLemon juice
2 TbspChopped parsley
4 TbspFresh breadcrumbs
1Finely chopped spring onion
1Garlic clove, crushed
1 tspDried oregano
1 tspBasil
¼ tspChilli flakes
1 TbspCanola oil, use up to 2 Tbsp

Directions

  1. Combine the ingredients for the sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the chicken bites (except for the canola oil). Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Roll into walnut-sized balls.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Pan-fry half the bites, shaking the pan to turn them over so they brown evenly. Pan-fry for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove with tongs to a paper towel lined oven-proof dish. Keep warm in the oven while the remainder are cooked.
  4. Serve with the sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping.
