What is Chicken and Cheese Bazlama?
Chicken and Cheese Bazlama is a filling Turkish sandwich made by stuffing bazlama—a thick, soft flatbread—with chicken and cheese, then warming it until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese melts. It is a familiar café or takeaway-style meal, and an easy way to use cooked chicken at home.
The contrast of tender bread, savoury chicken and gooey cheese makes it best served hot. In Turkey it works well as a quick lunch or substantial snack; elsewhere, serve it with a crisp salad or soup for a simple meal. A glass of ayran is a natural pairing if available.
It is a bread-based option with a useful amount of protein: 100 g provides 15.1 g. Add fresh vegetables and go lighter on the cheese if you want a less rich serving.
