Chicken pancakes recipe: Your new favorite savory treat

Sweet or savory pancakes? I have always chosen the former, but recently, I tried chicken pancakes made by my friend. They were so delicious that I might change my mind and make them for my household. Fortunately, I already have the recipe.

Pancakes are a dish that offers a multitude of possibilities. They can be transformed into a delicious breakfast, a hearty lunch, or even an exquisite dessert. Their popularity is certainly due to the fact that they require only a few ingredients and are straightforward to prepare.

Classic pancakes are extremely simple to prepare. The basic ingredients are wheat flour, eggs, milk, and sparkling water. It's also worth adding a pinch of salt and mixing everything thoroughly. Frying is equally important. Firstly, the pan must be well-heated. Fat (e.g., oil or butter) is used before each pancake.

We fry the pancakes on each side until golden, usually taking 1-2 minutes. Tasty and flexible pancakes make a great base for sweet and savoury dishes. They need to hold the filling well and not fall apart.

When it comes to preparing the filling, nothing should limit us because it is tough to find a product that doesn't go with pancakes. In summer, when we have a wide selection of fresh fruit, we often use them and combine them, for example, with cottage cheese. I ate pancakes in this version all summer. Even recently, during a short break in Dębki, I indulged in pancakes with strawberries. When I returned to Warsaw, my friend invited me over, and she had prepared… pancakes.

When she told me about it, I immediately thought of sweet pancakes. What a surprise! The filling was made of chicken and vegetables. Interestingly, she had made both the pancakes and the filling the previous day. When I visited her, she just baked the whole dish. Although I think I fry delicious pancakes, I was impressed. I promised my household this dish for lunch or dinner in September. A rocket or lamb's lettuce salad with a light dressing will go great.
