A hearty savory breakfast stack made with fluffy homemade pancakes layered with tender chicken and melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for brunch, breakfast for dinner, or a satisfying weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Layer one pancake on a plate or oven safe dish, top with chicken and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
  8. Place the assembled stack in the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter, small lumps help keep pancakes tender.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting between layers.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest for easier stacking.
