Bread with Circassian chicken is a small bread serving topped with shredded chicken mixed into a rich walnut-and-garlic spread. It takes the familiar Circassian chicken meze and presents it as a convenient bite for a party table or appetizer platter.
To make Bread with Circassian chicken, shred cooked chicken and mix it with finely ground walnuts, garlic, and enough chicken broth and bread to form a spread. Spoon it onto small bread slices just before serving so the bread stays firm.

Circassian chicken is the walnut-based chicken dish served on its own, while Bread with Circassian chicken places that spread on bread as an appetizer. The topping is much the same; the bread changes the portion and makes it easier to serve as finger food.
