Chicken and cheese pancakes: A quick and tasty dinner fix

An unexpected dinner idea doesn’t have to come from a book of extravagant dishes. Simple recipes can also impress those seated at the table. A mix of spices, the addition of cheese, and chopped chicken are enough to create pancakes that taste like a dream.

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. It’s all about mixing the ingredients. 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 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 version, use yogurt and herbs; a slightly heavier variation can be achieved with a mix of mayonnaise, yogurt, dried tomatoes, and Herbes de Provence.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons of potato starch
• 3 eggs
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Parsley
• 2.5 ounces of yellow cheese
• 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• Thyme, ground sweet paprika
• Pepper, salt
• Oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Clean the chicken of any membranes, then cut it into very small cubes.
2. Press the garlic through a garlic press, chop the parsley, and grate the cheese using a fine grater.
3. Mix the meat, starch, eggs, garlic, parsley, yellow cheese, mayonnaise, and spices thoroughly. If the mixture is too runny, add a bit more starch.
4. Spoon the pancake mixture onto hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown.
5. Place the finished pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels.
