Mushroom Soup with Chicken (Tavuklu Mantar Corbasi)

½ chicken breast
2 cups milk
1 carrot, chopped
½ lb ( 4-5 ) button mushroom, sliced
½ stick butter (50-65 gr)
2 Tbsp flour, heaping
1 Tbsp salt (for soup)
1 tsp salt (for boiling chicken)
½ bunch of fresh dill, thinly chopped or 1 tsp of dried dill (optional)
2 Tbsp cooking oil

Boil the chicken breast with the chopped carrots until they are both soft and tender with adding 1 tsp salt. When it’s done, pour the remained water in a bowl for using it as the chicken stock in the soup.
After the cooked chicken breast cools a little, cut it into small pieces.
Meanwhile, in a skillet place the butter and sliced mushrooms. You can sprinkle a pinch of salt on them. Saute them on a low-medium heat, till they get soft and tender, for about 8-10 minutes.
In a large pot, add the oil and flour and stir continuously while cooking on low- medium heat, for about 2-3 minutes. When the flour and oil mixture starts to change in color, add milk, salt and the chicken stock when you set apart before. Stir well in order to obtain a smooth creamy soup.
Finally add the chicken pieces, carrots and cooked mushrooms into the soup. Then cook for about 8- 10 minutes stirring occasionally (optional). When it’s done sprinkle with dill on top before serving.
Serve it while still hot or warm.
ENJOY

Drape Pilaf (Perde Pilavi)

2 cups rice, washed and drained
~1 lb boneless chicken
1 cup almonds
1/3 cup pine nuts
2-3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp salt to taste
3 cups hot chicken broth

For the dough:
½ cup yogurt
½ cup oil
50 gr butter
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
1-2 cups flour
A pinch of salt

Mix the dough ingredients and knead until it gets soft. Cover it to make airproof and set aside.
Boil the chicken and let it cool. Then, cut into small pieces. Keep the chicken broth to use later.
Rinse the rice and drain. Take rice and 2 Tbsp of butter to a pot. Saute over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 3 cups of chicken broth that you kept before. Add salt and cook over low-medium heat until rice becomes lightly undercooked.
Boil almonds for 2-3 minutes and peel the skins off. Grease the pot, Pyrex or cake pan with butter (whichever you’ll use to bake the drape pilaf). Leave it in the fridge for about 5-8 minutes, and then stick some of the almonds inside the container you’re using.
Divide the dough into one small and one big piece. Flatten the big one with a roller as big as to cover the container. Lay it out inside the container. Meanwhile, sauté pine nuts and remaining almonds with ½-1 Tbsp of butter, until they get light brown. Stir them and chicken into the cooked rice. Add black pepper and mix them all. Transfer them over the container covered with the dough. Flatten the small piece of dough as well and cover the top of the pilaf with this (like a lid). Grease the top with butter and bake in the preheated 400 F (200 C) oven till it gets lightly brown.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes and turn the container upside down.
Serve warm/hot.

Crispy Fried Chicken (Kizarmis Citir Tavuk)

1 lb chicken thighs/breasts/wings
5-6 tbsp flour
4-5 tbsp dry bread crumbs (optional)
1 tsp salt to taste
1/2 tsp curry powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp paprika
¼ tsp thyme
¼ tsp cumin
1 cup milk/yogurt
1 cup canola oil for frying

You can take out the skin and bones. Also cut them into small pieces or fry them whole. I’ve take out the skin and bones, then fried the thighs whole.
Salt the chicken pieces all over rubbing with your hands. Dip the chicken pieces into flour and season the flour with paprika, pepper and any other spices you like. Then, dip the chicken pieces into milk/yogurt. Mix the dry bread crumbs and the remaining flour. Dip all the chicken pieces into it. Place the coated chicken pieces on a cookie sheet or tray and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. Let sit until the flour is of a paste-like consistency. This is crucial!
Fill a large skillet with oil and heat until very hot. Place as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken over high heat on both sides. Then, reduce the heat and cover the skillet. Let cook for 20-30 minutes till the chicken get tender. Remove cover and raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy. You can skip the last step if you don’t want the chicken to be crispy.
Place the fried chicken on paper towel.
You can serve Crispy Fried Chicken with tartar sauce or tomato sauce.
ENJOY

2 chicken thighs/1 breast
2 cup whole grain rice, washed and drained
4 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp salt to taste

Black pepper

In a pot, boil chicken with the half of the salt. Leave aside 4 cups of the boiling water for using later. Let the chicken cool for a while. And then, remove the skin and bones. Cut the chicken into small pieces and set aside.
In another pot, melt the butter and stir in rice. Cook rice stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Then add 4 cups of boiling water of the chicken. Add the remaining salt and bring to a boil. Close the lid and cook over low heat till the rice absorbs all the water. Then leave for a rest for 10 minutes. Add the chicken and mix them all. Another serving suggestion is: put some chicken into a bowl and fill the rest with pilaf. Gently press the surface and turn upside down to a serving plate.
