Lula kebab from chicken fillet in a frying pan

Lula kebab is a shish kebab made from minced meat, it is popular in the Caucasus and many eastern countries. The classic lula kebab is made from lamb, but in our country lamb is less common, so it is often replaced with other types of meat. One of the options is chicken kebab (chicken breast). It turns out appetizing, affordable and very tasty. Since the chicken breast is a bit dry, a little fresh lard is added to it, which adds juiciness and is not noticeable at all in the dish. Unlike other types of meat, chicken flesh is quite viscous, so the process of making lula kebab from it is greatly simplified. The minced meat retains its shape well on a skewer; it does not need to be beaten or kneaded for a long time.
