Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken meze
What is chicken meze?
Chicken meze is a small, usually cold dish made with cooked chicken and often yogurt and olive oil. Garlic, herbs, spices, or vegetables may be added, so the exact ingredients vary from one recipe to another.
How do you make chicken meze?
Cook the chicken thoroughly, then shred or finely chop it and mix it with yogurt, olive oil, and seasonings. Chill the mixture before serving so the flavors come together, and finish with herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if you like.
What do you serve with chicken meze?
Serve chicken meze with pita, flatbread, toast, or crackers for scooping. It also fits well on a meze spread with olives, dips, and grilled or roasted vegetables; offer it chilled as a starter or part of a light meal.
Is chicken meze served hot or cold?
Chicken meze is usually served cold or chilled, particularly when it is made with yogurt. Cook the chicken first, let it cool before mixing, and keep the finished dish refrigerated until it is time to serve.
What ingredients are in chicken meze?
Chicken meze commonly contains cooked chicken, yogurt, and olive oil. Garlic and black pepper are frequent additions, while herbs, walnuts, or roasted peppers can appear in particular versions; there is no single fixed recipe.
Is chicken meze the same as chicken salad?
Not exactly. Chicken meze is a small dish served as part of a meze spread, and its yogurt-and-olive-oil dressing gives it a different character from many chicken salads, which may use mayonnaise or leafy greens.
Can you make chicken meze with chicken breast?
Yes, chicken breast works well in chicken meze because it is easy to shred after cooking. Thigh meat is another option and tends to be more tender; whichever cut you use, remove bones and let the cooked meat cool before mixing.
Can chicken meze be made ahead?
Yes, you can make chicken meze ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until serving. Mix the yogurt with chicken that has cooled completely, then stir the dish again before serving and add any fresh herbs at the end.
How long does chicken meze last in the fridge?
Chicken meze generally keeps for three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Do not leave it sitting out for an extended time, and discard it if its smell, appearance, or texture seems unusual.
Can you freeze chicken meze?
Freezing chicken meze is not ideal because yogurt can separate and turn watery when thawed. For a better texture, freeze cooked chicken on its own, then thaw it safely and mix it with fresh yogurt when you are ready to make the meze.

What is Chicken meze?
Chicken meze is a cool dish from the Turkish and wider eastern Mediterranean meze tradition, made with cooked chicken, yogurt and olive oil. Recipes vary: the chicken is often shredded, and garlic or herbs may be added. It is usually creamy, with tender strands of chicken; tangy yogurt balances the richer olive oil.
In Turkey it is served as a small starter or alongside other meze, often with bread at a shared table. Elsewhere, it also works as part of a mezze spread, a light lunch or a potluck plate. With 10.5 g of protein per 100 g, it brings some staying power. For a lighter version, use plenty of yogurt and go easy on the oil, serving it with fresh vegetables.
