Even though South Africa’s summer weather has been pleasant so far, there are still wet days coming. We have a simple but satisfying rainy-day tradition of making pancakes. When we’re in the mood for a sweet snack while watching a movie at home, we never fail to order a stack of crêpes sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. But have you ever tried piling on the fillings, as we did with these chicken pancakes?
Chicken pancakes tips
These pancakes are ideally prepared as thin as possible, but if you want something a little thicker, add a little extra batter, but not too much. If you have any shredded, pre-seasoned chicken leftovers, this dish is perfect for a lazy Sunday. Some grilled tomato slices, cooked to perfection in an air fryer or skillet, and a dollop of avocado mash will add a splash of colour to the dish. Enjoy while it’s still hot and have it with any meal you choose.
If you slice these chicken pancakes into bite-sized pieces and serve them with some tasty condiments, they make a fantastic platter treat for parties.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy meal to prepare when the summer rains start, these chicken pancakes are a great option. They pack a lot of flavour and are satisfyingly substantial.
