Hungry Man Kichen: Circassian Chicken Salad

The Circassians were tribal folk historically inhabiting the land separating the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Circassian chicken made its way into Turkish cuisine during the Ottoman period when the Ottoman Empire controlled much of this region.

Poached and shredded chicken served with a creamy and spicy walnut sauce, it was typically served as a main course, but it became also popular as an appetizer or meze served for feasts. It can be also a great alternative to chicken salad and delicious filling for the sandwiches.
