Frequently asked questions

How long do Golden Herb Chicken and Oat Pancakes take to make?
About 35 minutes, with 15 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking for the chicken and the pancakes.
Are Golden Herb Chicken and Oat Pancakes vegetarian?
No, they are not vegetarian as the pancakes are topped with strips of herb-marinated chicken breast.
Can I use rice flour instead of oat flour for the pancakes?
Yes, rice flour works and gives a lighter, slightly crisper pancake. Add a splash more milk if the batter feels too thick.
How do I keep the chicken strips tender?
Slice the breast thinly, let it sit in the garlic, parsley and lemon marinade, then cook over medium heat just until golden and cooked through so it doesn't dry out.
What should I serve with chicken and oat pancakes?
Lemon wedges are the classic finish, and a simple side salad, sliced tomatoes or a spoonful of yoghurt all go well alongside.
