Çökertme kebab with chicken breast is a Turkish dish layered with thin, crisp potatoes, chicken, garlicky yogurt and tomato sauce. The chicken variation uses breast meat in place of the beef often found in traditional versions.
Cut chicken breast into strips and cook it in a hot pan. Serve it over thin fried potatoes, add garlicky yogurt, then spoon over a warm tomato-based sauce. Assemble just before serving to keep the potatoes crisp.
Çökertme kebab is associated with Bodrum in Muğla, on Turkey’s Aegean coast. The chicken-breast version is a variation on the better-known beef preparation, while keeping the dish’s signature combination of potatoes, yogurt and sauce.
Cook the chicken breast quickly over fairly high heat and take it off the pan as soon as it is done. Cut the strips evenly and avoid crowding the pan, which can make the meat steam and turn dry.
The thin, matchstick-style potatoes are a defining feature of Çökertme kebab: they provide a crisp base beneath the softer chicken and yogurt. Cut them evenly, rinse off excess starch, and dry them well before frying.
Çökertme kebab with chicken breast is usually served with garlicky yogurt and a warm tomato-based sauce. Add the yogurt and sauce over the potatoes shortly before eating, rather than letting the assembled dish sit and soften.
Yes, you can bake the potatoes for a less oily home version, though they may not be quite as crisp as fried ones. Spread the dried potato strips in a single layer and turn them during cooking for more even browning.
The main difference is the meat: this version uses chicken breast, while the more traditional preparation commonly uses beef. Both are typically served over thin potatoes with yogurt and tomato sauce, although seasoning and presentation vary by recipe.
A fresh salad or grilled vegetables pair well with Çökertme kebab with chicken breast and balance its rich yogurt-and-potato layers. Since it is already served with potatoes, an additional starch is optional rather than essential.
Yes, you can cook the chicken and sauce ahead, but keep them separate from the potatoes and yogurt. Reheat the chicken and sauce, crisp the potatoes again, and layer everything just before serving for the best texture.

Çökertme kebab with chicken breast is a chicken-based take on a dish associated with Bodrum, in Turkey’s Muğla province. It is typically built on a bed of thin, crisp fried potatoes, topped with chicken breast and served with garlicky yoghurt and tomato sauce. The regional version is often made with red meat, while chicken is a familiar alternative in home cooking and restaurant menus.
The contrast of crunchy potatoes, tender chicken and cool yoghurt makes it a hearty main course, usually served hot. Chicken gives the dish a protein-rich character, while the potatoes and sauces make it filling. For a lighter plate, use less oil for the potatoes and add a fresh salad alongside.
