Chicken pancakes with sour cream are a savory twist on traditional pancakes, perfect for a hearty meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients
For the Chicken Pancakes:
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley, optional)
- Oil or butter for cooking
For Serving:
- Sour cream
- Chopped fresh herbs (for garnish)
- Optional: Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, and chopped herbs. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the cooked chicken.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates and top with a generous dollop of sour cream. Garnish with additional herbs or green onions if desired.
