Chicken Yogurt Çökertme is a Turkish Aegean dish layered with crisp, thin potato strips, chicken, yogurt, and tomato sauce. It adapts the better-known Çökertme kebab, which is traditionally made with beef, by using chicken instead.
Chicken Yogurt Çökertme is assembled with thin fried potatoes, sautéed chicken, yogurt, and tomato sauce. Cook the chicken and sauce separately, then layer them over the potatoes just before serving so the potatoes do not turn soggy.
Chicken Yogurt Çökertme is a chicken variation of Çökertme kebab, a dish associated with Bodrum in Turkey’s Muğla province. The original is usually made with beef, while this version uses chicken alongside the characteristic potatoes, yogurt, and tomato sauce.
The thin potato strips are the defining base of Chicken Yogurt Çökertme: they fry quickly and create a crisp contrast to the yogurt and sauces. Cut them evenly and dry them well before cooking for a more consistent crunch.
Yes, Chicken Yogurt Çökertme is commonly served with garlic mixed into the yogurt. Stir finely crushed garlic into plain yogurt and spread it over the potatoes; reduce the garlic if you prefer a milder flavor.
Yes. Traditional Çökertme kebab is generally topped with sautéed beef, while Chicken Yogurt Çökertme uses chicken. Both versions keep the signature combination of thin potatoes, yogurt, and tomato sauce.
For crisp Chicken Yogurt Çökertme potatoes, slice them thinly, dry them thoroughly, and fry or bake them until crisp. Add the yogurt and tomato sauce only when you are ready to serve, since moisture softens the potatoes.
Chicken Yogurt Çökertme works well as a complete main dish with a simple green salad or grilled vegetables. Its potato base, chicken, yogurt, and tomato sauce already provide the main elements, so a light side is usually enough.
You can prepare the chicken, tomato sauce, and yogurt separately ahead of time, then refrigerate them covered. Cook the potatoes and assemble Chicken Yogurt Çökertme just before serving; assembling it early makes the potatoes lose their crunch.
Reheat the chicken and tomato sauce from leftover Chicken Yogurt Çökertme separately, and warm the potatoes in an oven or air fryer to help restore their texture. Keep the yogurt cold and add it after reheating rather than heating the assembled dish.

Chicken yogurt çökertme is a Turkish Aegean-style dish, associated especially with the Bodrum area. It layers crisp, thin potato strips with pieces of chicken, then adds yogurt and a tomato-based sauce. Recipes vary, but the contrast between the warm toppings and cool yogurt is part of its appeal.
It is usually served as a filling main course; a fresh salad makes a simple accompaniment. The potatoes bring most of the carbohydrate, while the chicken and yogurt contribute protein—11.2 g per 100 g. For a lighter version, bake the potato strips instead of frying them and use a modest amount of oil and sauce.
