Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sage
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for pancakes)
- 250 milliliters Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 bottle Cooking spray
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, sage, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
Form the mixture into 4 equal patties and set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the pancake mixture by sifting together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together low-fat buttermilk, egg, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is just mixed. Do not overmix.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Cook the chicken sausage patties on the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Re-spray the skillet with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter to make 8 pancakes.
Assemble the McGriddle by placing a chicken sausage patty between two pancakes. Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Homemade Sausage McGriddle.
