Chicken and pancakes unknown to many is a very delicious combo. Chicken fillet seasoned with fresh lemon juice, zest, cinnamon and spices. The lemony flavour of the grilled chicken tastes great with the soft pancakes. A delicious treat finished off with a glaze of honey and butter.
How to make Pancakes and Chicken with Honey Glaze
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius, set to grill. Then place all the spices in a bowl with the lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil. Mix together into a paste. Take the chicken fillet and push a skewer through each fillet. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken fillet, place it onto a tray and grill in the oven for 25 minutes.
In the meantime. whilst the chicken is grilling, prepare the pancake batter. Separate the egg whites in a bowl and place the yolk in a blender or any food processor. Using an electric whisk, whisk the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks (you can also do this by hand, it just takes longer). Set aside.
Add the flour, baking soda & powder, into the blender with the milk and blend it all together. Pour the batter into the egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold it in. Remember to check the chicken and remove them from the oven after 25 minutes.
Now, place a pan over medium heat and grease with butter. Scoop a spoon of batter into the pan and fry on one side for 2 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, then flip unto the other side for another 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter until it’s finished. Place each pancake on a flat plate to form a stack. Place the grilled chicken on top and drizzle with honey (you can also add a knob of butter). Enjoy!
