Recipe: Herb Chicken Patties with Coconut Spiced Rice

Ingredients for Chicken Patties:

  • 1 kg chicken mince
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp mixed herbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp tapioca powder
    Optional add in: 5-6 Spleen & Liver Capsules, opened up and sprinkled in

Ingredients for Spiced Coconut Rice:

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup basmati rice (soaked and drained)
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp bone broth concentrate (Best of The Bone)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • water


Method for Chicken Patties:

1. Prepare the Patty Mixture

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken mince, eggs, coriander, cumin, mixed herbs, salt, pepper, and tapioca powder.
  • Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. Shape the Patties

  • Scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into evenly sized patties. (these are a bit sticky, so coating your hands in some tapioca will help).

3. Pan Sear the Patties

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with oil.
  • Sear the patties on both sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).

4. Finish in the Oven

  • Place the seared patties on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked through.


Method for Coconut Spiced Rice:

1. Prepare the Rice Base

  • Heat a medium sized pan over low-medium heat and add the coconut oil.
  • Once melted, add the coriander, cumin, and cinnamon. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Coat the Rice in Spices

  • Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the pan.
  • Stir to coat the rice evenly with the spices and oil.

3. Cook the Rice

  • Pour water into the pan, covering the rice by about 3 cm.
  • Add the bone broth and salt and give it a gentle stir.
  • Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.

4. Simmer and Stir

  • Allow the rice to cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes. Halfway through, stir the rice once to ensure even cooking/ non sticking.
  • Once the liquid is fully absorbed, turn off the heat.

5. Steam and Soften

  • Stir the rice gently one more time, then place the lid back on the pan.
  • Let the rice sit for about 10 minutes to soften further and develop its texture.

Serve patties and rice with some fresh salad on the side and a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
