Chorekteme with chicken is a Turkish dish layered with fried potatoes, chicken, yogurt and a butter sauce. The contrast between crisp potatoes, cool yogurt and warm chicken is central to how the dish is served.
Chorekteme with chicken uses chicken in place of the beef commonly found in çökertme kebab. Both are served over thin fried potatoes with yogurt and a buttery sauce, so the meat is the main distinction.
Chorekteme with chicken is a chicken variation of a dish associated with Bodrum in Muğla, Turkey. The better-known local çökertme kebab is typically made with beef, while the chicken version keeps its characteristic potato, yogurt and sauce layers.
To keep the potatoes crisp in Chorekteme with chicken, dry them well after cutting and fry them until golden. Add the yogurt and butter sauce just before serving; sitting under wet toppings is what quickly softens the potatoes.
Chorekteme with chicken is usually finished with butter heated with red pepper flakes or ground pepper. Some versions add tomato or tomato paste to the butter; spoon the sauce over the assembled dish just before serving.
Yes, you can prepare the chicken, yogurt and potatoes for Chorekteme with chicken ahead, but keep them separate. Reheat the chicken and potatoes and assemble the dish shortly before eating so the potatoes do not turn soggy.
Both chicken breast and boneless thigh work in Chorekteme with chicken. Breast cooks quickly and stays mild, while thigh is more forgiving if it cooks a little longer; cut the chicken into bite-size pieces for easy layering.
A crisp salad, grilled vegetables or pickles pair well with Chorekteme with chicken because they balance its rich butter sauce and fried potatoes. The dish is filling on its own, so a light side is usually more suitable than another substantial starch.
Yes, you can bake the potatoes for Chorekteme with chicken, though they will be less like the crisp, thin fries in the traditional-style dish. Toss the cut potatoes with a little oil, spread them out, and bake until browned before assembling.
Refrigerate leftover Chorekteme with chicken promptly and eat it within two days. Store the chicken, potatoes, yogurt and sauce separately if possible; this keeps the potatoes from absorbing moisture and makes reheating the components easier.

Chorekteme with chicken is a Turkish dish of fried potatoes topped with chicken, yogurt and a buttery sauce. The layers bring together crisp, golden potatoes, tender chicken and cool, tangy yogurt, with the sauce adding a rich finish. It is often associated with southwestern Turkey and the style of potato-and-yogurt dishes served as a hearty main meal.
Serve it hot, perhaps with a fresh salad to balance the richness. The potatoes make it substantial, while the chicken contributes protein; it provides 9.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use less oil when cooking the potatoes and keep the butter sauce modest.
