Papara is a kind of food technique. Stale pide, bread, dough and so on. It turns into a nutritious and delicious meal with its protein contribution. It is a Turkish cuisine classic, which has been built for hundreds of years without minced meat/ chicken in Fukara kitchens. Using the same technique, you can diversify it according to the material you have. Enjoy your meal!
Chop stale bread or pita bread into cubes. Saute a spoonful of oil and a spoonful of butter in a frying pan until it turns pink.
In the meantime, cook the chickens you will use thoroughly until they separate from the bones. Strain the chicken broth and put it in a separate pot. Take the chickens you have separated, cool them and shred them. Season with salt and pepper.
For the sauce, crush the garlic and add it to the yogurt, add salt and mix.
At the time of serving, take the toasted bread on a tray, spread it on the bottom and pour the hot chicken broth on it. Place the shredded chicken meat on the breads so that they do not overlap and pour the garlic yogurt over the chickens.
Finally, lightly burn the chili pepper and mint in the butter and pour this sauce over the papara. Bring your food to the table with its tray and serve it hot. Enjoy your meal!
Note: If you want to make minced meat, fry the onions, peppers and tomato paste with the minced meat and soak the breads with this mortar.

Stale Bread:
Stale bread is a valuable ingredient with a lower glycemic index than fresh bread. Starch retrogradation ensures slower blood sugar rise, prolonged satiety, and fiber for digestive health. It's budget-friendly and prevents waste. Ideal as croutons in soups, a binder in meatballs, or in desserts (e.g., bread pudding). It pairs well with dairy, spices, and vegetables.
Chicken Meat:
Chicken meat is an excellent source of high-quality, lean protein, crucial for muscle development and repair. It is particularly rich in B vitamins like B3, B6, and B12, contributing to energy production and nervous system health. Its selenium content provides strong antioxidant support, while phosphorus is critical for bone and dental health. Zinc further aids the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with various vegetables, rice, bulgur, and herbs such as basil and thyme, offering nutritious and delicious meals.
Chicken Broth:
Chicken broth, rich in collagen, supports joint health, enhances skin elasticity, and strengthens the intestinal barrier, improving digestion. Amino acids like glycine and proline support the immune system and help reduce inflammation. It also contains beneficial components for cartilage structure.

Yogurt, a fermented milk product, supports the digestive system and helps balance gut flora due to its rich probiotic content. This contributes to strengthening the immune system.
