• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Chicken Filling:

• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Cooking:

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted unsalted butter.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth pancake batter. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling

1. In another bowl, combine the cooked chicken, red bell pepper, green onions, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Pancake Batter and Filling

1. Gently fold the chicken filling into the pancake batter until they are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Pour a scoop of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form a pancake. You can adjust the size according to your preference.
3. Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
4. Continue cooking the remaining pancakes in the same manner.
