Green & Grain Free Pancakes with Creamy Tahini Chicken Salad

Need a quick, versatile and delicious everyday meal or a little lunchbox inspiration?

Well, look no further!

I’ve created a lovely dinner for the simple and busy nights and a wonderful lunch box for the next day.

The green pancakes are grain-free. They’re filled with nutritious spinach and protein-packed eggs and cottage cheese. The chicken salad is a wonderful filling for the pancakes and is also nutritious and high in protein.

These wraps can also be used for breakfast or lunch, so a great idea is to make a double serving and refrigerate it for the next few days. The chicken salad is super versatile, and I’ve enjoyed it on toasted rye and in a green salad. It keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days.

So there you have it, a great combo meal or a wonderful quick breakfast or lunch for busy days.

Try it and let me know how it turns out!

Instructions

  • In a blender combine all ingredients for the pancakes. Use a small skillet and make around 8 pancakes out of the batter. The pancakes should be around 15 cm in diameter, do not make them too big, otherwise they can be a little bit difficult to flip. Fry the pancakes on medium heat until golden on each side, set a side.
  • Fry the chicken in a buttered pan, season with salt and pepper, cook until done and set a side.
  • In a bowl mix tahini, olive oil, cumin, lemon juice and a bit of salt and pepper and mix well together. Add edamame beans and the grated apples + all the juice that comes along. Tear the chicken apart, easiest to use your fingers, and mix it well into the tahini salad. Season to taste.
  • Serve the pancakes with chicken salad and fresh spinach.
