Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp thyme dried or fresh
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 pancakes store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs for coating
  • 2 eggs beaten, for egg wash

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring to coat the mushrooms. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cooked chicken, thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  4. Lay out the pancakes on a clean surface. Spoon the chicken and mushroom filling onto each pancake, then roll them up tightly. Dip each rolled pancake into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
  5. Place the coated pancakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden and crispy.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy filling and crispy exterior.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a richer flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms like shiitake and oyster
• Avoid overfilling the pancakes to prevent them from bursting during baking
• Serve with a side salad for a complete meal
Food Safety:
• Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking
