Fluffy pancakes filled with chicken and topped with hearty Bolognese sauce for a comforting main course.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 cup whole milk
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Chicken Filling

06 - 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into pieces (approx. 1.1 lbs)

→ Bolognese Sauce

07 - 8.8 ounces ground beef
08 - 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
09 - 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
10 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
11 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
12 - Additional salt and pepper, to taste
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
02 - Increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef and cook 5–7 minutes, breaking up meat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
03 - Add diced tomatoes and Italian herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
04 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, salt, and pepper until batter is smooth and pourable.
05 - Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat; lightly grease with oil or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake and spread into a circle. Cook 2–3 minutes until golden underneath, flip, then cook another 1–2 minutes. Set cooked pancakes aside on a plate.
06 - Fill each pancake with chopped cooked chicken, roll or fold, then spoon warm Bolognese sauce on top before serving.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For even pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes before cooking.
02 - Use freshly cooked or leftover roasted chicken for added flavor.
