High in protein, keeps you full, means you make the most of leftovers, and takes about 10 minutes to make...
Ingredients For 2 Pancakes:
- 55 g of flour (Gram Flour if you want it gluten-free)
- 100 g Cooked chicken (about 1 chicken breast)
- A pinch of salt and black pepper
- 1 egg
- 150 ml of milk (almond milk if you want it dairy free)
- Some chopped spring onions
- Sweetcorn
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 kcal fry spray to fry if you want to reduce fat intake
- Optional (but also compulsory): garlic olive oil to top / fry...
If you're thinking:
Where do I get Gram flour from?
I came across this offer in Morrisons today...
It's cheap, low in fat, pretty high in protein due to the chickpeas / yellow split peas, and has moderate carbs.
It's also the closest flour to "wheat" flour that I've ever used <<< Unfortunately, I'm allergic to wheat...
Method:
1. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl
2. Whisk the egg and milk in another bowl and slowly pour this into the bowl with the flour, until you get a "batter" consistency. Leave to one side.
3. Chop some spring onion and add this into the mixture with the chicken and sweetcorn.
4. Heat a small pan with garlic olive oil or 1 kcal fry spray. When it's at a high heat, add the batter mix and fry for about 2 minutes at a moderate heat before turning and repeating.
5. Slide off on to a plate, season with black pepper, and the optional (but also compulsory) garlic olive oil!

If I was going to make this better?
Add in some cheese or make a cheese sauce...
This was tasty, took 10 minutes, was low in calories (meaning I can eat MORE and I love having a full plate), and surprisingly filling, particularly if you add in some extra veggies, like peppers, chopped spinach and onion.
Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
