Tavuk Göğsü

A traditional Turkish milk pudding thickened with rice flour and starch, with very finely shredded chicken breast for its distinctive texture. Serve well chilled with ground cinnamon.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the chicken breast and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and cook until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 74°C.
