Scale
Chicken Coating
- 4 1/2 cups (6 oz) Baking Mix
- 1 tsp Pepper
Chicken
- 3 lb Boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 3 cups (24 oz) Skim Milk
- 1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 oz) Vegetable Oil
Pancakes and Topping
- 48 each (1.85 lb) Kellogg's Eggo Buttermilk pancakes
- 1 1/2 cups (12 oz) Honey
- Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, stir together the baking mix and pepper until well combined.
- Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the skim milk, then roll it in the baking mix mixture, ensuring each piece is lightly coated on all sides.
- Cook Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook for 4-6 minutes per batch, turning as needed to brown all sides and until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F and no pink meat remaining.
- Prepare Pancakes: While the chicken cooks, prepare the Kellogg’s Eggo Buttermilk pancakes following the package directions to heat and fluff them properly.
- Assemble and Serve: Top each warm pancake with three cooked chicken pieces. Drizzle generously with honey and sprinkle with chopped chives, if desired, for a fresh finish.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is safely cooked.
- You can substitute chives with green onions or parsley for garnish if preferred.
- Use vegetable oil with a high smoke point for best frying results.
- If preferred, bake the pancakes ahead of time and reheat before serving.
- This recipe yields 24 servings, making it ideal for large gatherings or meal prep.
