10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Keto-friendly • Serves 4

Looking for a great way to use leftover chicken? This is it! Who can resist the savory combination of chicken and pancakes? The only hitch is the gluten-loaded nature of traditional pancakes. But fear not, because this recipe is your gateway to scrumptious gluten-free pancakes. Fill them with your favorite ingredients or stack them high with butter and syrup for a taste sensation like no other!

Ingredients: Pancakes

1/2 cup almond flour

4 ounces of lactose-free cream cheese, softened

4 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Butter for frying

Ingredients: Filling

2 cups cooked chicken

3/4 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Green onion greens, optional, for serving

Low-fodmap hot sauce, optional, for serving

Red pepper flakes, optional, for serving

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Chop the cooked chicken. Grate the cheese. Put parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

(2) Make pancake batter: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, softened cream cheese, eggs, and salt. Use a hand-held mixer or whisk and blend until smooth.

(3) Cook the pancakes: Heat a medium-size nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let melt. Pour in about 1/4 cup of the batter and cook until golden brown on the bottom (about 2 minutes). Flip and cook ther other side for about 2 minutes. Then remove to a plate. Repeat these steps with the remaining batter.

(4) Bake: Lay the pancakes out on the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Put chopped chicken down the middle of each pancake. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Put the tray in the oven and back for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the meat is heated through.

(5) Plate and serve: Serve hot with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and low-FODMAP hot sauce. I like to roll them up to eat them so you’re sure to get a little of everything in each bite!

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
