Step 4: Assemble the Pancakes with Chicken Filling
- To assemble, take one of the zucchini and eggplant pancakes and spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto the center.
- Place a second pancake on top, pressing gently to create a “sandwich” with the chicken filling inside. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Arrange the stuffed pancakes on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
- Serve each pancake stack with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, if desired. This adds a tangy contrast that complements the flavors of the zucchini, eggplant, and chicken.
Tips for Perfect Zucchini and Eggplant Pancakes
- Remove Excess Moisture: Squeezing out as much water as possible from the zucchini and eggplant will prevent the pancakes from becoming too soft.
- Experiment with Spices: For a bolder flavor, try adding cumin or Italian seasoning to the pancake batter.
- Make It Vegetarian: If you prefer a meat-free option, substitute the chicken filling with a mix of sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and feta cheese.
- Serve with a Sauce: These pancakes pair wonderfully with tzatziki sauce or a garlic aioli for an extra burst of flavor.
