Boil the potatoes for at least 25 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, add ground chicken, a quarter of the chopped onion, half of the chopped parsley, half of the crushed garlic, and mix well by hand.

Form the mixture into small balls and set aside.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan.

Fry the chicken balls until browned on all sides.

Add the rest of the chopped onion to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the chickpeas, remaining chopped parsley, remaining garlic, and spices; mix well.

Add 1 cup of water and let it boil for about 15 minutes.

Chop the boiled potatoes and form them into flat rounds to cover the chicken balls.

Coat the chicken balls in flour, then dip in scrambled egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Fry the coated chicken balls until cooked through, flipping occasionally.

Serve the chicken balls arranged around the chickpea mixture, garnished with chopped parsley.
