We modified the recipe and cooked the chicken by itself first for better flavor. We also used chicken thighs instead. We used baby carrots and celery and a bag of frozen peas. We used store bought pie crusts. It was quite tasty. We were able to make two pies. Froze one for later.
I melted a half stick of butter into the cast iron skillet before adding the batter. When it was baked, I added a half cup of cheese to the top and put it under the broiler.
These were delicious. But honestly, how can you go wrong with flapjacks!?! I overestimated the amount of cottage cheese I needed to blend, so I increased the recipe by about 1/4. I did not use cinnamon, but I used cinnamon bun protein shake to thin out the batter a bit. It was still a little thick, which resulted in pancakes that were a little dense, but they still tasted light and fluffy. Since I cooked it in butter, I didn't add any to the top. I drizzled it in a strawberry balsamic with a bit of honey for a delicious finish! Give it a try, you'll love it, and you'll add some protein to your breakfast!
