About Cheese and chicken burek

Cheese and Chicken Burek is a savory pastry originating from Balkan cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavors and flaky, layered dough. This dish typically consists of thin sheets of phyllo pastry filled with a mixture of seasoned ground chicken, creamy cheese, and spices, then baked until golden brown. Packed with protein from the chicken and calcium from the cheese, it offers some nutritional benefits, but its high calorie and fat content, due to the buttery pastry and cheese, make it a dish to enjoy in moderation. Popular as a comfort food or snack, it reflects the Balkan tradition of hearty, homemade meals. Often served with a side of yogurt or a light salad, Cheese and Chicken Burek provides a satisfying, flavorful experience that highlights the rich culinary heritage of the region.
