Tavukgöğsü

Tavukgöğsü is a Turkish milk pudding made with shredded chicken breast. It was served to Ottoman sultans in the Topkapı Palace, and is now a well-known dish in Turkey. It has long been assumed that this chicken pudding had originated in the Roman recipe collection Apicius, and it was later on passed to Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) and subsequently to the Ottoman Empire. According to Utku Can Topçu (2023), no surviving copies of Apicius include such a recipe. Similar Arab dishes from the tenth century exist. Considering the lack of evidence for the Roman connection, the possible introduction of tavukgöğsü into Turkish cuisine is likely of Arab origin.
