Chicken sac tava is a Turkish skillet dish of bite-size chicken cooked with vegetables, commonly onion, peppers and tomatoes. It takes its name from the broad, shallow metal cooking surface called a sac, though a regular skillet works at home.
To make Chicken sac tava, sear bite-size chicken in a very hot, wide pan, then add onion, peppers and tomatoes and cook until the chicken is fully done. Avoid crowding the pan so the ingredients brown instead of steaming.
Chicken sac tava commonly includes onion, green peppers and tomatoes. Garlic and hot peppers are popular additions, while some home cooks add other vegetables; keep the pieces fairly similar in size so they cook evenly.
Chicken sac tava is often served with rice, bulgur pilaf or flatbread to soak up the flavorful juices. A crisp salad or yogurt-based side such as cacık balances the warm, savory skillet meal.
Yes, you can make Chicken sac tava in a wide, heavy skillet. Heat it thoroughly and cook in batches if needed; a crowded pan releases moisture and makes the chicken and vegetables steam rather than develop browned edges.
Chicken thighs are a forgiving choice for Chicken sac tava because they tend to stay juicy during high-heat cooking. Breast meat also works, but cut it evenly and stop cooking as soon as it is safely cooked through to avoid dryness.
Keep Chicken sac tava juicy by using a hot pan, cooking the chicken in a single layer and avoiding excess cooking. Add the vegetables after the chicken starts to brown, and remove the pan from the heat once the chicken is done.
Chicken sac tava is not necessarily spicy; its heat depends on the peppers and seasoning used. Add chili flakes or fresh hot pepper for a hotter version, or leave them out and serve chili on the side.
Yes, Chicken sac tava reheats well when refrigerated promptly in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, stirring so the chicken and vegetables warm evenly, and make sure the dish is hot throughout.
Yes, Chicken sac tava can be frozen in an airtight container after it has cooled. The peppers and tomatoes may become softer after thawing, so defrost it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly before serving.

Chicken sac tava is a Turkish skillet dish of chicken cooked with vegetables—typically peppers, tomatoes and onion—on a broad, very hot iron griddle called a sac. The quick cooking lets the chicken brown while the vegetables soften and release their juices; household and regional versions vary.
It is savoury and gently sweet from the tomatoes, with tender chicken and peppers that may retain a little bite. In Turkey it is usually brought to the table hot, often with rice, bulgur or bread and a salad or yoghurt on the side; it also works well as a shared centrepiece. Its chicken makes it a protein-rich main, while the vegetables keep the dish colourful. Use a modest amount of oil or add extra peppers and tomatoes for a lighter plate.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
