Chicken breast pudding is a traditional Turkish milk pudding made with shredded chicken breast, milk, sugar and a thickener such as starch. The finely separated meat gives the dessert a distinctive texture, while the finished pudding is usually chilled and served in slices.
Yes, traditional chicken breast pudding contains actual chicken breast. The meat is cooked, separated into very fine strands and mixed into the sweetened milk pudding; versions made without chicken are adaptations rather than the classic dessert.
No, properly prepared chicken breast pudding does not have a strong chicken flavor. The chicken is shredded very finely, so its taste is subtle; the dessert mainly tastes milky and sweet, with a distinctive, slightly fibrous texture.
Chicken gives chicken breast pudding its characteristic fine, stringy texture and is part of the dessert's traditional recipe. Its use reflects the history of Turkish and Ottoman milk puddings, rather than an attempt to make the dessert taste savory.
No. Chicken breast pudding is the milk-and-chicken dessert itself, while kazandibi is distinguished by its browned, caramelized underside. When chicken breast pudding is browned on the bottom, that variation is commonly called tavuk göğsü kazandibi.
For smooth chicken breast pudding, shred the cooked chicken into extremely fine strands and pound or rub them apart before adding them to the milk mixture. Stir the pudding continuously as it thickens to prevent lumps and keep the texture even.
Chicken breast pudding is a traditional Turkish dessert with roots in Ottoman cuisine. Its unusual combination of sweetened milk and finely shredded chicken has made it a distinctive part of Turkey's dessert tradition, especially in classic pudding shops.
Chicken breast pudding is usually served chilled and cut into slices once it has set. A light dusting of cinnamon is a familiar topping; chilling the pudding before serving helps it hold its shape and makes the texture easier to enjoy.
Yes, you can make a chicken-free version by preparing a milk pudding without the meat, but it will lack the defining strands and texture of traditional chicken breast pudding. It is closer to a plain milk pudding than the classic dessert.
Keep chicken breast pudding covered in the refrigerator and aim to eat it within about three days. Because it contains milk and cooked chicken, do not leave it sitting at room temperature for an extended period; take out only the portion you plan to serve.

Chicken breast pudding is a traditional Turkish milk dessert made with milk, sugar and starch, with finely shredded chicken breast worked into the mixture. The meat is cooked until very tender and blended in so thoroughly that it does not taste like a savoury addition; instead, it gives the pudding its distinctive smooth, lightly elastic texture.
It is usually served chilled, cut into slices and sometimes dusted with cinnamon. In Turkey it is a familiar option at dessert shops and after a meal, while elsewhere it makes a conversation-starting alternative to ordinary milk pudding. It is sweet and filling, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates; a modest slice is a sensible choice if you want a lighter serving.
