Turkish Style Chicken with a Cheesy Twist

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

• Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, add ½ cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
• Marinate the Chicken: Add 500g chicken to the bowl and mix well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Set it aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Marinated Chicken

• Cook Chicken: Heat a pan over medium-low flame. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
• Cover and Cook: Once the chicken is cooked, cover the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Afterward, turn off the flame and set the chicken aside.

Step 3: Make the White Sauce

• Sauté Garlic: In a separate pan, add 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon chopped garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add Flour: Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 3-4 minutes, making sure it doesn't burn.
• Add Milk and Season: Pour in 1 cup milk and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

• Combine Chicken and Sauce: In the pan with the cooked chicken, add the white sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken in the sauce.
• Add Cheese: Top with Mozzarella cheese (as required), then sprinkle chili flakes and oregano on top. Garnish with some fresh coriander leaves.

Step 5: Final Cook

• Cover and Cook: Cover the pan and cook on low flame for 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to blend.
• Finish: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, turn off the flame.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• Serve Hot: Plate the dish and serve while hot. Enjoy your flavorful, cheesy Turkish-style chicken!
