Chopped chicken pancakes with cheese and mayonnaise are simple yet delicious meals that will diversify your daily diet, especially for those with busy lifestyles. Just mix a few easily accessible ingredients.

A surprising idea for dinner doesn’t have to come from a book of extravagant dishes. Simple recipes can also stir among those seated at the table. A mix of spices, the addition of cheese, and chopped chicken are enough to create pancakes that taste divine.

Chopped chicken cutlets with cheese and mayonnaise. A quick way to make pancakes for dinner

This is quite an original way to prepare chicken breasts. Instead of frying traditional cutlets or small bites, prepare chopped pancakes with mayonnaise, yellow cheese, and aromatic spices. Mixing the ingredients is all that’s required. It’s not a complicated dish and will be a tasty alternative to old-fashioned cutlets or nuggets.

You can serve chicken breast pancakes with roasted or boiled potatoes or with groats enhanced with chopped fresh herbs and roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds. If you serve chicken breast pancakes with cheese as a snack, accompany them with an aromatic sauce. For a lighter option, use yoghurt and herbs; a slightly richer variation can be achieved with a mix of mayonnaise, yoghurt, dried tomatoes, and Provencal herbs.
