How do you make chicken stuffed with pancakes? Make pancakes first. How to make pancakes? Whisk the eggs in a bowl, add the salt, sifted flour, soda. Pour in the warm milk and vegetable oil. Knead the dough with consistency like liquid sour cream, leave it to stand for five minutes.

Bake the pancakes in a well-heated frying pan on both sides until rosy. Butter the ready-made pancakes so that they do not stick together.

Prepare the chicken carcass. It is better to take chicken weighing at least one and a half kilograms, with good whole skin. Wash the chicken, dry with a paper towel. Place the carcass on the back, breast up and start removing the skin, taking care not to damage it. This is a simple and short-lived process, the skin is easily removed. Great difficulty can arise on the back - there the skin is thinner. Leave the limbs with the skin, cutting the joint, first breaking it.

Grate the removed skin inside and outside with salt and pepper. Also rub and left limbs - wings and shins.

Separate the chicken meat from the bones. You can perfectly make soup broth from bones.

Pass the prepared chicken fillet through a meat grinder.

Peel and grind the carrots and onions. Wash the mushrooms, dry and cut into a small cube. Fry the onions, carrots and mushrooms in a pan with the oil for 5-7 minutes over a medium heat.

Grate the cheese over a coarse grater. Any cheese for this dish is suitable - hard, semi-hard, soft, mozzarella type. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

In deep dishes, mix crushed chicken fillet, fried vegetables with mushrooms, grated cheese, 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise (can be replaced with sour cream), salt, pepper to taste. Mix everything well.

Put the prepared filling on the finished pancakes, with a layer of not more than 0. 5 - 0. 7 mm, and roll them up with tight rolls. I got eight of those rolls.

Spread the chicken skin and fold pancake rolls into it, not very tightly, so that the skin does not damage. Pin the hole with toothpicks or sew with a culinary thread.

Place the prepared chicken in a heat-resistant tin or on a baking sheet. Brush it evenly with mayonnaise. If there is time, then leave to marinate for an hour and a half. Bake the chicken in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 50-60 minutes. The exact time will depend on the features of your oven.

Serve the finished chicken hot. It is easily cut into portions. Enjoy your meal!

Be sure to wash your eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Instead of fresh ones, you can take frozen or dried mushrooms (dried ones will need 5-6 times less than fresh ones). Frozen mushrooms can be thawed in any convenient way (for example, in the microwave in the appropriate mode - see the instructions for your technique) and drain the liquid. Or, if the amount of liquid in the recipe is not critical, use without defrosting. Dried mushrooms must be washed well, as they are not washed before drying, and then soaked in cold water for at least 2-3 hours.

Keep in mind that everyone has different ovens. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those indicated in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of the ovens!
