Çerkez tavuğu

Çerkez tavuğu or Circassian chicken is a Turkish dish made with shredded boiled chicken in a sauce consisting of stale bread, walnuts, garlic, red pepper flakes, coriander, and stock. When served, the dish is often sprinkled with chopped walnuts and sprigs of coriander, accompanied by toasted bread, steamed vegetables, or a green salad.

It is believed that the dish originated during the Ottoman reign, and was brought over to Turkey by Circassian slaves who had served in the harems as concubines.
