Moroccan Chicken Patties With Avocado Lime Sauce

These are so easy and quick to make and go down well with all the family. Instead of frying them you can bake them in the oven at 180C for 10 minutes. Just pop them on a tray lined with baking parchment. If I bake them I like to form them into tiny bite-size balls. You can play around with the spices and herbs too!

Serves 2 (double this for a family meal)
