These Vietnamese Chicken Filled Pancakes (or rather crepes) are to die-for-delicious ! The filling is absolutely outstanding and the pancakes are definitely something else.

A note before we dig in deeper : In SA our pancakes are more of a crepe as we usually have them filled, rolled up, with either a sweet or savory filling.

The filling on it’s own is just as delicious and we have had it several times, with the Coconut Pancakes, in a Tortilla and in a wholewheat roll.

Leftovers (which only happened once !) make an instant Chicken salad, especially if you add a handful or two of lettuce leaves.

I will be honest, Pancakes are a problem every time we make them ! Yes, we, as hubby has to do the cooking of the Pancakes.

I have never had the patience to properly learn how to cook pancakes to perfection. And truthfully, hubby is not much better at it (no, he won’t mind me telling you !).

Now, the Pancake recipe we used here, is very, very fragile, but so delicious ! I was not sure whether to post the full recipe or only the filling – the filling is really amazing.

But, after running it through my very busy mind a couple of times, I thought I’ll share the Pancake recipe anyway.

Because it tastes wonderful, the only drawback is that the Coconut/Turmeric Pancakes break easily.

Now, I already admitted that we are real bad with cooking Pancakes, and that might be the whole problem and not the recipe itself.

With the pancakes or not ?

Therefore, I will leave it up to you to decide whether you want to try the recipe for the Pancakes or only the Vietnamese Chicken filling.

And, please, if you are great at cooking Pancakes and you see something which might cause the Pancakes to break, let me know, because it is very tasty, fragile or not.

Right, I hope I have not talked you right out of trying the Pancake recipe. However, whichever way you decide, do try the filling, I can not begin to tell you how amazing it really is.

This looks so unique and tasty! I would like to give it a try! We really like Vietnamese food! The pancakes look like crepes, which our family really likes to make as a breakfast food! 1 or 2 eggs might help with the falling apart issue!
