Preparation Time:
- Preparation time: 20 minutes
- Cooking time: 15 minutes
- Total time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 10 pancakes

Necessary Ingredients:

*For the pancakes:*
- 150 ml milk
- 100 ml sparkling water
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons oil
- A pinch of salt
- 125 g flour
- 30 g butter or margarine for greasing the pan

*For the filling:*
- 250 g boneless chicken breast (half of a breast)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 200 g mushrooms (fresh or canned)
- 150 g grated cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparing the Pancakes:

1. Preparing the batter:
In a large bowl, combine the flour with the salt. This will provide a uniform taste and help to homogenize the mixture. Add the eggs and mix well with a whisk. You can also use a hand mixer for a finer result.

2. Adding the liquids:
Gradually incorporate the milk and oil, continuously mixing to avoid lumps. Then, add the sparkling water. This will give the pancakes a light and fluffy texture. If the batter still has lumps, feel free to strain it through a sieve.

3. Cooking the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with a little butter or margarine. Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the pan, tilting it to evenly distribute the batter. Cook until the edges of the pancake turn golden, then flip it with a spatula and cook the other side as well. Continue until all the batter is used, placing the cooked pancakes on a plate.

Preparing the Filling:

1. Preparing the ingredients:
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes for even cooking. Also, chop the bell pepper and mushrooms (into slices or cubes, according to preference).

2. Sautéing the ingredients:
In a pan, heat the olive oil and add the chicken cubes. Sauté until the meat is lightly golden and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Adding the vegetables:
Add the bell pepper and mushrooms to the pan and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables become tender. Finally, incorporate half of the grated cheese, mixing well until it melts.

Assembling the Pancakes:

1. Filling the pancakes:
Take one pancake and place a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture on one side. Carefully roll the pancake to form a roll. Continue with all the pancakes, placing them in a non-stick baking dish.

2. Finalizing the dish:
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the pancake rolls. Place the dish in the preheated oven at 180°C and bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden.

Serving Suggestions:
These chicken breast appetizer pancakes are delicious served warm, but you can also accompany them with a fresh salad or a garlic yogurt sauce for extra flavor. Additionally, a glass of white wine or a fruit cocktail could perfectly complement the meal.

Tips and Practical Advice:
- If you want to make a vegetarian version, you can replace the chicken breast with tofu or sautéed vegetables.
- Make sure the pan is well heated before pouring in the batter to achieve golden and crispy pancakes.
