Chicken Salad Pancake Stacks

I would have loved to have gone out to dinner with the family last night but given the unusually cold weather and lack of close-by suitable options, following is my take on something creative. I always love involving the kids in the creation of their own meals and the best way to do that is put everything in the middle of the table and then discuss what would make a ‘yummy dinner combo’…..  we ended up with 'Chicken Salad Pancake Stacks'!!

Pancakes

6 Egg Whites

3½ tbsp. Coconut Flour

4 tbsp Milk or Milk substitute

½ tsp of Garam Masala

½ tsp of Cumin

½ tsp of Onion Powder

Good pinch of Himalayan rock salt

Fry Pan

Oil for the pan, I used Coconut Oil

Crumbed Chicken

2 Chicken Breasts (I used Free Range) Cut into thick strips

1 cup Desiccated Coconut (I used Sulphite Free, 220)

1 cup Almond Meal

2 Eggs

2nd Fry Pan

Oil for the pan, I used Coconut Oil

- Mix all the Pancake ingredients in a small bowl. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes so the coconut flour can soak up some of the moisture.

- Prepare salad items, we had the following: English Spinach, Grated Carrot, Grated Cheese, Sliced Avocado, Sliced Tomato and Sliced Cucumber

- Mix coconut and almond meal in a bowl and whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Dip chicken in egg and roll in almond meal and place on a plate. Once all the chicken is done, heat oil in fry pan and commence cooking chicken on a medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively you could cook chicken in the oven for about 12mins (turning after 6mins) or until cooked through.

- Heat oil in 2nd fry pan. Whisk pancake batter again and then pour an amount into the pan, quickly thinning out with a spatula to the desired size of your pancake.

- Flip pancake when browned on the bottom and continue till cooked through, remove and set aside. Repeat with batter until all used. Remember to oil pan between pancakes. I got 4-5 medium sized pancakes from the above mixture.

I then placed everything in the middle of the table and everyone assembled their own pancake with the salad items and chicken pieces. Following is a photo of ‘one with the lot’ including a dollop of plain Greek Yoghurt…. Yummo!

Enjoy!
