Chicken Bread
One of my personal favorite recipes and a definite keeper of a recipe!I have included step by step instructions with pictures HERE
Ingredients
Ingredients for Dough
- 4 cups plain/all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. instant yeast
- 2 tbsp. powdered milk optional
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. oil
- 1 egg plus one for glazing
- 1 tsp. castor sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder to reduce any yeasty smell
Ingredients for Chicken Filling
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken boiled and shredded 250-300 gm when uncooked
- 2 small onions finely chopped
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tbsp. coriander leaves
- 4 green chilies chopped
- 1 tsp. garam masala powder
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1 cup milk
- sesame seeds as required
Instructions
For the Chicken Filling:
- Heat 2 tbsp. butter fry onion till soft then add 2 tbsp. flour with 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. garam masala.Add the milk, cook till thick, mix in the shredded chicken add chopped green chilies and coriander leaves, remove and cool completely.The filling will look like THIS
For the Dough:
- In a bowl mix together 4 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. castor sugar, 2 tbsp. milk powder, 1 tbsp. yeast, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp. oil and 1 egg, knead to a medium soft dough with slightly warm water, leave to rise for 1 hour.Divide the dough into two or three depending on how big you want the loaves. Proceed with viewing the subsequent steps to see how the bread is shaped.Now divide the dough into two or three parts depending on what size loaves of chicken bread you want. Roll the dough to a rectangular shape, snip the sides with scissors or a knife, put filling in the center and fold each side so they overlap each other (like a braid) the filling will show slightly but that’s ok, brush top with beaten egg, sprinkle sesame seeds and bake on 200 degree C for 25 minutes or so.Right after taking out of the oven apply butter well on whole bread and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.
Notes
I always make big batches of chicken bread at a go and then wrap them well with film or foil, then put them in some sort of a cellophane bag and tie it up tight and freeze. They can keep up to 4 weeks! When you need one, you just thaw it out overnight in the fridge or keep it out on the counter until it’s thawed out, then unwrap and zap it in the micro for a minute or so until it warms up, and then splash a little bit of water using your fingertips on it and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to freshen it back up. Becomes as good as new! 🙂
This Has become a family$friends favorite!!!JazakAllah!!!
AOA Fauzia, just need to clear one thing, u have mentioned in the chicken bread recipe that u make big batches of it & freeze it, what i need to confirm it is that ” do u par bake this chicken bread also for 8 min as per other pies & pizzas” & then freeze it. i am thinking of making it for a ladies get together in the morning & I want to save time by making it ahead . Thanks. Take care.
W/Salaam Tamkeen, please refer to this note and let me know if you have any questions, hopefully it will help. How to Freeze Breads
Thank u Fauzia.
i tried this chicken bread recipe for so many times now and have referred it to friends as well.mashallah it comes out so yummy and tasty.everything is perfect in the recipe.all my family loves it every time i make it.
For a first try, it was perfect Mashaallah! Everyone’s asking for recipe. May Allah reward you for sharing.
What is the oven used to make this,if it’s microwave ,then how many minutes?
Fan-assisted oven, not microwave. Takes about 25minutes in the oven, not sure about the time it would take in a microwave.
Salaamz fauzia. I attempted this recipe. I didn’t have instant yeast so I used dry yeast but the dough didn’t rise:( shall I scrap the dough and make it again or shall I fill it anyway?
W/Salaam, please go through this note and see if any of the tips given will help revive the dough. Since you used dry yeast, did you remember to activate it first before adding it to the flour? Yeast
Asak Fauzia, I’d like to know the above mentioned Quantity is enough for how may persons? Thanx
W/Salaam, approximately 6-7 people.
hi how much in grams is 4 cups flour.and how much chicken
Hi! Here are my measurement conversions: Measurements
Chicken would be around 250gm.
assalamu alykum fauzia, ramadan mubaraq, here don’t we want to preheat the oven before baking?
W/Salaam, yes you need to preheat the oven to the recommended temperature (200 C)
Salaam u forgot to add the egg in the dough will it make much of a difference?
W/Salaam, sorry, I forgot the egg? I haven’t forgotten it, it is included in the recipe! Maybe you missed it?
Egg is not listed in your ingredients, just in your directions.
oops…never mind 🙂
It is included, please re-check!!
what is powdered milk?
Milk in powder form.
i tried this recipe for the first time..masha allah it was yummy..my whole family loves it..positive comments from them. i am so happy.jazakkallahu hair fauzia. may allah bless you.
hi can i make this without using milk powder?
Hi, yes you can.
can i use dis for a ready made bun? wich chicken recipe of urz is gud to mix with mayonnaise?
Yes you can, and no need of mayonnaise for this recipe.
which oil do u use in the dough
Regular vegetable/cooking oil.
how much is 4 cups flour
Each cup of flour is 120gm.
Hello, would powdered milk be the same as instant dry milk?? Also what is castor sugar? Thanks. Looking forward to trying this recipe
Hi, powdered milk is not the same as instant dry milk, it is slightly different but you can use the instant in it’s place or use fresh milk. Castor sugar is grinded regular sugar.
Oops sorry for reposting same comment…where can I find powdered milk, maybe some Indian store?? If not I’ll have to iftar sn alternative. Thank you for your help
Yes any indian store, even regular supermarkets should have it. Otherwise just use fresh milk in its place.
Hello, would powdered milk be the same as instant dry milk?? Also what igga castor sugar? Thanks. Looking forward to trying this recipe
hey this looks oo yummy. but i have a doubt… can i bake this in a micro wave..if yes then how??
Sorry I never bake or cook in the microwave.
hi. we have an online newsletter at work, totally internal. Would you mind if i use your recipe for Chicken bread in our September issue? Will of course give you credit and refer to your website. Free advertising. Please let me know asap.
Thanks.
Hi! Yes that is perfectly ok, thanks for asking! Do remember to send me a link please if possible! 🙂
Hi Fauzia, can I use this for making rolls, and just a twisted bread, thats without adding anything insde.
Hi, yes that is ok.
A very thank you for this fabulous recipe! I made this for my family on Eid morning and it was a hit 🙂
Aslm alkm. You did not include baking powder in this recipe, is that how it is or you have forgotten it? Thanks for the recipes.
W/Salaam, that is how it should be.
Hi Fauzia! Can I use self raising flour instead of yeast and all purpose flour?
Hi, no it will not give the same results. Baking powder is different from yeast.
Thanks Fauzia. Is it called as Yeast dried instant as well?
Yes it is.
hi insha allah im going to ,ake ur rose rolls can u tell me wat do u mean buy powderd milk? is is coconut milk or pilk powder.
im sorry mistake milk powder not pilk hehehe sorry for the typing mistake
Today i made chicken bread ,it was so lovely n tasty ,jazakallah for so nice n perfect recipe .
Milk powder. 🙂
Hi Fauzia,
I attempted this recipe… however, I did not “activate” the dry yeast (i didnt know i had to)… is it harmful? also, I notice that the dough was not baked properly where I made the “braids”… any tips?
Hi, no it is not harmful, DRY yeast needs to be activated in order for it to function properly otherwise the dough does not expand well or become airy and light.
Aassalamualaikum
I wanted to make it vegetarian … Any suggestion ..advice that you have will be greatly appreciated.jazakallah khair.
W/Salaam, please check out my fillings folder for ideas. 🙂
AA Fauzia! made this today, came out awesome mashaAllah = )
Hi,
I don’t like creamy chicken- is that what it tastes like? If so can I use a different filling?
Hi, yes it tastes creamy. You can use any filling that you like actually.
Yummy recipe.. must try 🙂
this is great – so yummy. Made these for my kids and was tempted to eat them all for myself…
hai….i really love 2 make dis…..but:( i don’t hav oven,so i thought i vil makeit in stove….but problm is i don’t hav any bakng trays…so pls tel me vat typs of plates i can use inside da pot….

Salam Fauzia di. I made chicken bread n rose rolls in my convection microwave n they turned out awesome. Heartfelt duas n thanks to u for so wonderful recipes.
Great and tasty recipe! We had great fun making this!!
Thanks.
assalamu alaikum:)
can i use a differnt filling for these buns. can u suggest me any another?
coz my family members don’t like peper flavour.always need somthing hot and spicy.
W/Salaam, yes you can. Please check the fillings recipes in the fillings/toppings folder.
Salaam Fauzia di. I wanna make this recipe again for my vegetarian friends. So can u suggest me a substitute for egg-for both dough n glazing? And can I make chicken bread with whole wheat flour?
W/Salaam, use 2 tbsp yoghurt in the dough in place of the egg and for the glaze, brush with butter or milk. And yes you can use whole wheat flour, but if you like, mix half plain and half whole wheat for better results.
Thank u for such a quick reply. I really appreciate it 🙂
salam sister, its always a pleasure to follow ur recipes tried many of em, i have a question, when ever i bake chicken bread mine dough is hard to handle,i wanna know how to braid the dough…..should i chill it first then put the filling in ????/plz do guide me ,SALAM & BLESSINGS.

Hi Fauzia – salaam alaikum
Hi Fauzia – salaam alaikum
Wich brand powdered milk would you recommend? Also, for the flour it shloud be 8 oz. cup?
Thanks
W/Salaam, I normally use Nido
W/Salaam, I normally use Nido. 1 cup of flour is 4 oz in weight.
Hi Fauzia
Hi Fauzia
This looks yummy. Can you please guide me onto folowing:
1) Whats the difference between self raising flour vs all purpose flour? Do you know what are they called in Urdu?
2) Can I replace chicken with mushrooms in this recipe. Not sure how it will taste. (Also checking out your fillings & toppings section, which filling will you prefer from there to be replaced here? (My inlaws are vegetarian).
Hi! All purpose is plain
Hi! All purpose is plain flour/maida. Self rising is maida which has baking powder and salt in it. In every cup of plain flour, you add one and a half tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt to make it into SR flour. Mushrooms alone as a filling might not be that good, maybe combine it with chicken and onions.
sister…i bought a dried
sister…i bought a dried active yeast a company by the name of allisons i live in england. it says to activate just add water this was the only one available at supermarket. is this okay and because i need to activate with water how would i incorporate that in recipe or is it the same method. jazakallah
You can use this yeast, you
You can use this yeast, you will need slightly more (quarter tbsp aside from the 1 tbsp the recipe requires). Make sure to follow the instructions on the yeast pack, activate it in warm water (not HOT) and then allow the yeast to froth for about 10 minutes, then use it in the recipe.
hello fauzia!
hello fauzia!
i have a query i tried chicken bread twice they turn out to be good the bread is also soft but they are plain white in color not brown..can u give me some suggestion?
Hi, does your oven have a top
Hi, does your oven have a top grill? If so, check whether it comes on during baking. If not then see if you can manually turn it on to give the bread colour during the last few minutes of baking.
no it doesn’t have top grill
no it doesn’t have top grill 🙁 do u think there is some other way to get them a little brown ?
I’m afraid some top heat is
I’m afraid some top heat is needed to get a good colour, maybe put the bread on the topmost shelf so whatever warmth is being emitted from the top of the oven can colour the bread. Make sure to also brush the bread with egg wash.
I made this recipe for a get
I made this recipe for a get together and everyone raved about it. My whole family makes it now and loves it! great way to use leftover chicken as well.
can I use self raising flour
can I use self raising flour for this recipe?
Hi, best not to use SR flour
Hi, best not to use SR flour as it contains a large amount of baking powder and this recipe does not need it.
Aoa.I tried your chicken
Aoa.I tried your chicken bread, chicken buns and spicy croissants… all were remarkable and first time successes.Thanks ever so much!
I’m a diabetic and prefer whole meal flour. is there a way of using it instead of plain flour in these recipes.
Also, could you please give a recipe for brown bread?
Jazakumullah khair!
W/Salaam, thank you! You can
W/Salaam, thank you! You can use whole meal flour in place of plain flour (although results will be a bit denser as the two flours normally give different results). Or if possible you can mix a small portion of white flour with the whole meal flour (like three-quarters whole meal and a quarter of the amount plain flour) so you achieve some lightness/softness to the bread. Will be posting a brown bread recipe soon inshaAllah. 🙂

one of the best baked items i have ever prepared.i love baking but never tried making chicken bread. as im not a big fan of bakery bought chicken bread. so it never appealed me. i tried this just because of my mother in law. she likes it. but uffff when i tasted it …i dont have words to say how delicious it was. mashaAllah MashaAllah MashaAllah. i made 3 medium sized breads from this recipe, was thinking to store 1 or maybe 2 leftovers. but they were vanished in no time. though i dont have a big family…we would hardly finish only 1. but lolz my family loved it. my husband was like ” can you make it again tomorrow? ”

W/Salaam, no that is not instant yeast. Sounds like it is fresh yeast. Have never worked with that so am not sure on how it reacts. Instant yeast will have it mentioned on the label that it is instant. It is in powdered form/rough granules.

Aslm, I tried this bread
Aslm, I tried this bread today and all was well dough wise, filling etc, the dough was very soft but. I noticed that the top of my bread was browning too quickly. I have a fan oven and set the temperature at 200 degrees as suggested, could it be that because of the fan oven I have to reduce the temperature slightly? Or should I cover the bread with a foil half way through cooking to avoid over browning? The thing is that I took out the bread out of the oven after 15 mins but it was underdone at the bottom whilst perfectly golden on top. Thanks for helping and thank you for sharing the recipes with us all.
W/Salaam, sounds like your

Asslm, thank you for the advice, had another go today and reduced the oven temp to 180 and it worked just fine. I also did it with a twist, I omitted the garam masala, chillies and coriander and replaced with oven roasted tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, basil and some cheese. I however did the chicken as you explained except that it was a plain mixture with no spices and chillies. Thanks again for the wonderful recipe and for so kindly replying.

I’d like to make this today. Will there be a big difference in the taste or softness of the bread if I brush it with ghee or oil in the end (as I don’t have butter right now)? Which one would be preferable out of the two?

I was wondering if I could use milk to make the dough instead of water? Would it give me a softer dough? Secondly is it ok to prepare the bread about an hour or two prior to baking if so do I keep it in the fridge or out on the counter.
Jzk
W/Salaam, you can although
W/Salaam, you can although the bread ingredients already contains milk powder, so it does soften but you can use milk if you want for kneading. And no, you need to bake this bread immediately after shaping otherwise it will end up over proofing and smelling very yeasty.

i have tried ur chicken bread many a times and it comes our really yummy.. Thanx fo the recipe. My family actually calls it ‘fish’ becoz it looks like that… I just wanted to know can i replace the flour with whole wheat flour completely? Or is there any other recipe where i can use 100% whole wheat flour for any Kind of bread? Please help.
jazak Allah…
W/Salaam, yes you can use
W/Salaam, yes you can use whole wheat flour. It will be a heavier/denser bread not as light as when you use white flour but definitely healthier. 🙂

Pls can i know about oven settings .my oven has two heating elements top and bottom and no fan.how to i set for buns pizza and cake.
About the elements that need
About the elements that need to be switched on, my oven works differently (I don’t have to switch on various rods at any time) but I believe for ovens like what you are using, start with the bottom one and then midway turn on the top. Accordingly see how the results are and adjust. 🙂

Today I made chicken Bread and it turned out so very good. Both tastewise and look wise was awesome. I was nervous as I was making for the first time but it was unbelievably super tasty . I have noticed that you use milk powder in your dough , just curious to know what is the reason behind. Inshallah Allah will be trying each and every of your recipe. One more thing, I request to make your recipes print friendly version so it is easy for us to print. Thanks

W/Salaam, yes you can use
W/Salaam, yes you can use wholewheat flour or mix half wholewheat and half plain flour for best results. The ingredient amounts will remain exactly the same. This was mentioned already in a previous comment above. 🙂
I need to know, measurement
I need to know, measurement for water for the dough please jazakalllahu khair
Hi! It’s generally difficult
Hi! It’s generally difficult to estimate how much water/milk is needed exactly as different flours absorb differently and different altitudes affect absorption rates. Mix half a cup of milk with half a cup of water. Warm it up, then gradually add and knead the dough. Use as much as it will take to get the dough to a soft and smooth consistency. You may need more water/milk or you may not need to use all. Once you’ve got the hang of it with your particular brand of flour, you will know for sure for next time.
thank you, may Allah reward
thank you, may Allah reward you for sharing. Amin.

I used about 1 and 3/4 cups water, so I can use water/milk? great! One mistake I made, I set up my oven to 200 but it was 200F? lol. When I realized it was 20 minutes later, I adjusted to 392F is equivalent to 200c, it still came out fine, we all enjoyed the meal. Thank you again. Will do it again inshaaAllah.

W/Salaam, if you are proofing
W/Salaam, if you are proofing the dough in the fridge, then you knead dough cover it and put it in the fridge to slowly rise. Can take up to a day or overnight. Then remove and let it come to room temperature or at least lose the chill before using as needed.

Could you tell me if I could replace boiled shredded chicken for chicken mince (keema)? I always make this recipe in large batches and sometimes don’t have the time to boil and shred lots of chicken… If chicken mince is something you can recommend how would I prepare it? (would I boil it first or can I cook in with the other ingredients without pre-boiling the keema first)? JZK
W/Salaam, thank you! You
W/Salaam, thank you! You would need to preboil or dry off the mince first before adding it to the milk mixture, just like you do with the chicken. Just dry it off without adding any water, but be sure to season it with salt and pepper and add some ginger/garlic paste to add flavour to the mince. 🙂

W/Salaam, yes you can store the dough in the fridge for a day, but any longer than this and it would be best to freeze it. Make sure to wrap it up well.

My bread was not turning a gold color . As soon as it became the right color it became hard and dry. What could i do ?
Check if your oven has
Check if your oven has separate settings for a top grill in the oven. If so, then turn it on during the final 5-10 minutes of baking to brown the top of the bread.
Hi. i made chicken bread
Hi. i made chicken bread today but it turned out to be really hard although i followed your steps till the very end. and also it stuck to the slab so much that it was really hard to transfer it onto baking tray. what could i have done wrong
Hi, did you preheat the oven
Hi, did you preheat the oven before baking? Did you make sure the dough was kneaded properly? Also, did you bake it for longer than the recommended time? As for it sticking, could be that you did not flour the surface properly before beginning to shape.
Assalam-o-Alaikum

Salam sis fauzia, Alhamdulillah I made this yesterday and it came out fine but I had just one challenge the top crust came out very hard even after I applied butter and let it sit, where did I get it wrong? I used a mini oven with fluorescent heating tube above and under. jazakallah khairan

Hi Fauzia…this is first recipe that i have tried yesterday referring your site, it turned out to be perfect and I am really motivated to try other variations of this soon, thank you.
Dear Fauzia, can I make this
Dear Fauzia, can I make this dough in the night,and once it has risen make the breads and bake them in the morning for school Tiffin??
Yes, that is fine. Or you
Yes, that is fine. Or you could just bake them the day before and warm them up the next day.
Why the picture link is not working
Tried chicken bread for the first time, came out amazing. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
hello Fauzia love your recepis for this chicken bread recepi is it possible to buy store bought bread dough and get the same results.?
Hi, it should be ok although it is hard to be sure as you can never tell how good a ready made bread dough is until you bake it. With this one you are guaranteed perfect results if the recipe is followed accurately.
Salaam, can the chicken bread be frozen without baking? If yes, can we bake it 2-3 weeks later?
W/Salaam, I would recommend that you half bake it and then let it cool and freeze. When ready to use just brush the top with milk and bake it until its golden.
Salaam, my chicken filling is a bit too spicy as per out taste, how can I fix this? Thanks
W/Salaam, the only way to fix spice is to make a new batch of the mixture and omit the chillies from it then mix the two together.
Hi
Great recipes. Always make your crepes and pancakes.
Question – how long can we keep the dough before we are ready to fill?
If it has risen and we are not ready to fill, what do you recommend ?
Thank you
