Half Bread with Chicken Meatballs is a sandwich made by tucking seasoned chicken meatballs into a portion of bread. The meatballs may be pan-cooked or grilled, and the seasoning and extras vary from one cook or sandwich shop to another. It fits the casual Turkish-style bread sandwich tradition, while remaining easy to adapt at home.
In Turkey, it is often eaten as a quick lunch or filling snack, with pickles, fresh vegetables and a glass of ayran alongside. Elsewhere, it works well as a portable meal or simple supper. The chicken provides protein, while the bread supplies much of the carbohydrate; add salad and go easy on rich sauces for a lighter plate.
