Cajun Spiced Pancakes
Cajun spiced pancakes are a meeting of American and French gastronomy, bringing the spicy flavors of Cajun cuisine from Louisiana. Cajun spice blend is traditionally used to season meats and seafood, but this version adds a creative twist to the European pancake. The dish is a perfect choice for those who like intense, spicy flavors and are looking for a quickly prepared yet filling dish. The freshness of sour cream or yogurt perfectly counterbalances the spicy chicken, resulting in a truly harmonious dish.

Preparation Steps
1
Cut the chicken breast into smaller strips to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor in every bite.
2
In a bowl, combine the chicken breast with the Cajun spice blend, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through.
4
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the bell pepper and red onion into thin strips, and mince the garlic.
5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet. In the remaining oil, sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes.
6
Prepare the pancake batter: in a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and sparkling water until smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
7
Grease a skillet with a little butter and cook the pancakes over medium heat, until golden brown on both sides.
8
Fill the cooked pancakes with the spiced chicken and sautéed vegetables, then sprinkle with fresh parsley.
9
Serve with sour cream or a light yogurt sauce to balance the spicy flavors.
