About Chicken iskender

Chicken Iskender is a beloved Turkish dish known for its rich flavors and satisfying combination of ingredients. Originating from the Bursa region of Turkey, this dish features succulent pieces of marinated and roasted chicken served on a bed of sliced pita bread, topped with tangy tomato sauce and melted butter. It is traditionally accompanied by creamy yogurt and grilled vegetables, creating a balance of flavors and textures. Chicken Iskender is rich in protein from the chicken and yogurt, while the grilled vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals. However, the generous use of butter and pita bread makes it higher in calories and carbohydrates, so portion control is key for those monitoring their intake. A delicious example of Turkish cuisine, Chicken Iskender is both a comforting meal and a cultural experience on the plate.
