Ingredients needed for pancakes:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of flour
- 200 ml milk
- 100 ml water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 100 ml oil
Ingredients for the filling:
- 1 chicken breast, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- ½ can of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 egg, boiled and diced

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs, to preference (parsley or dill)
Pancake preparation:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
2. Add the flour and mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
3. Gradually incorporate the milk and water, stirring continuously to obtain a smooth batter. Add salt and oil and mix again.

Useful tips:
- If you want pancakes with extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of dried herbs to the batter.
- Make sure the pan is well greased with oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Filling preparation:

2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them together with the onion for 5 minutes.
3. Incorporate the diced chicken breast and cook everything until the chicken is well done. Add salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to enhance the flavors.
4. Finally, add the boiled diced egg and the red bell pepper, gently mixing to avoid breaking the texture of the ingredients.
Assembly:
1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle of pancake batter and spread it evenly to form a thick pancake.
2. Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
3. On each pancake, add a portion of the chicken filling, then carefully roll the pancake to form a roll.
4. Place the rolls on a baking tray and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes at 180°C until they become slightly crispy.
