Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar is a baked dish made with yufka pastry, cooked chicken, béchamel sauce and Kashar cheese. The pastry is filled or layered with the creamy chicken mixture, then baked until the cheese is golden.
Cook and shred or chop the chicken, make a thick béchamel, then wrap or layer the filling in yufka sheets. Add grated Kashar on top and bake until the center is hot and the cheese has browned.
Yes, phyllo can stand in for yufka in Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar, but it is thinner and dries out faster. Use several sheets, brush them lightly with oil or melted butter, and avoid overfilling so they do not tear.
Keep the béchamel thick and let cooked chicken cool before filling the pastry. Excess liquid from the chicken or sauce can soak into yufka, so drain the filling and assemble the dish shortly before baking.
Kashar is the cheese intended for Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar; it melts well and gives the topping a mild, savory flavor. Grate it over the dish near the end of baking if you want a browned top without overcooking it.
Yes, you can prepare the chicken and béchamel ahead, but assemble the yufka closer to baking time. If the filled pastry sits too long, it absorbs moisture and can lose its texture; keep prepared components covered in the refrigerator.
Bake Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar at about 180 °C (350 °F) until the filling is hot and the top is golden, usually around 25–30 minutes. The exact time varies with the dish’s shape and whether the filling is warm or chilled.
Yes, Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar can be frozen, though the béchamel may become slightly less smooth after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions, thaw in the refrigerator, and reheat thoroughly in the oven for a better pastry texture.
Reheat Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar in the oven until the center is hot; this helps the yufka stay firmer than microwave reheating. Cover it loosely if the cheese is browning too quickly, then uncover it briefly to refresh the top.
Serve Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar with a crisp green salad or lightly dressed vegetables. Their freshness balances the creamy sauce and melted cheese, while another rich side can make the meal feel overly heavy.

Chicken Yufka with Béchamel and Kashar brings together thin yufka pastry, chicken, béchamel sauce and Kashar, a Turkish cheese. It is usually assembled as a filled bake and cooked until the pastry is golden and the cheese melts. The result is tender and creamy inside, with a lightly crisp outer layer.
Serve it as a substantial main with a fresh salad, or cut it into smaller portions for sharing. Chicken contributes protein, while Kashar adds protein and calcium; the pastry, sauce and cheese also make the dish filling. For a lighter plate, keep the béchamel modest and pair a smaller portion with plenty of vegetables.
