Ingredients
1 serving
- Tapioca starch28 g (about 3 tbsp)
- Egg1 medium (50 g)
- Mozzarella, shredded20 g (about 3 tbsp)
- Chicken breast, cooked and shredded60 g cooked (about 1/3 cup)
- Strawberries50 g (about 4 berries)
- Salt, pepper, dried oregano, tomato sauce (optional)to taste
Method
- Whisk the tapioca starch, egg and mozzarella with a pinch of salt into a smooth batter.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a spray of oil. Pour in the batter and spread it thin, like a crepe.
- Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges set and the base is lightly golden. Flip and cook 1 minute more.
- Season the shredded chicken with salt, pepper and oregano and warm it through until steaming hot, 74°C (165°F).
- Spoon the chicken over one half of the crepe, add a little tomato sauce if you like, and fold it over.
- Serve with the strawberries on the side.
Tips
- Whisk the batter right before it goes in the pan. Tapioca settles to the bottom fast.
- Cook two or three chicken breasts at once and shred them with two forks. They keep 3 days in the fridge and make this a 5-minute breakfast.
- To keep it low in common bloating triggers, season with oregano and pepper rather than garlic or onion, and use a tomato sauce made without them, or leave the sauce out.
