For pancakes
- 100 g
(3½oz) pancetta slices, roughly chopped
3 x 125 g (4oz) skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 Tbsp.
cornflour
- 350 ml
(13fl oz) rice or cow's milk, at room temperature
½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 Tbsp.
freshly sliced sage
Large handful rocket
- Step 1
For the sauce, heat a medium pan over medium-high heat; fry pancetta for 3-5min until cooked through and golden. Stir in the chicken and fry for 5min to brown.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, mix cornflour and some of the milk to make a smooth mixture. Add
to chicken pan with remaining milk and mustard. Bring to boil, stirring until thickened, then simmer for a few min until meat is cooked. Stir in sage and check seasoning; set aside.
- Step 3
Next make pancakes: sift flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Mix milk, oil and melted butter in a jug. Pour liquid ingredients into flour bowl; whisk to combine - batter will be quite thick.
- Step 4
Heat a large non-stick frying pan; brush with a little oil. Spoon in enough mixture to spread to a pancake measuring about 9cm (3½in). Repeat as many times as the pan will allow. Cook gently for 3-5min until surface appears bubbled. Flip and cook for 2min on other side. Stack on a plate, cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat to make 12.
