minutesA small kitchen innovation can change everything. When I received the FRAM electric grill, I immediately realized I could transform a simple meal into a spectacular brunch or dinner by cooking two dishes at the same time.
On the grill, I made juicy, crispy chicken and bacon skewers and savory cheddar pancakes, fluffy and golden. Both were cooked directly on the grill surface.
The 180° opening made everything much easier: I was able to monitor both dishes simultaneously, without moving them around or constantly checking on them. The result? Perfectly even and absolutely impressive.
This “2-in-1” meal brings together contrasting textures and flavors: sweet and savory, crispy and fluffy, with vibrant colors—ideal for a relaxed brunch or a quick dinner. Fast, delicious, and visually impressive, this recipe shows just how much a well-designed electric grill can simplify and elevate your cooking experience.
Ingredients
- Chicken and Bacon Skewers (5–6 skewers)
400–500 g chicken breast, cut into 2–3 cm cubes
150–200 g bacon, cut into similar-sized pieces
1 large bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), cut into 2–3 cm cubes
1 medium onion, cut into thick slices
1/2 zucchini, cut into thick slices
5–6 skewers
Salt, pepper, paprika
1 teaspoon oil, for brushing
- Cheddar Pancakes (8–10 pancakes)
200 g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
250 ml milk
50 ml oil or melted butter
50 g grated cheese (cheddar, Gouda, or Parmesan)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or green onion)
Preparation method
- Tip from the very beginning: It’s very important to organize your ingredients before you start cooking—have everything chopped, measured, and within reach. This way, grilling becomes much more relaxed, you can monitor the pancakes and skewers at the same time, and enjoy perfect results without stress or running around the kitchen.
- We start with the savory pancakes. I mixed the dry ingredients in a bowl and set them aside. In a separate bowl, I whisked the eggs together with the milk and oil, then gently incorporated the dry ingredients, mixing lightly without overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
At the end, I added the cheddar and chopped herbs, resulting in a slightly thick batter—perfect for holding its shape on the grill. The batter should rest for 10–15 minutes before cooking. - Meanwhile, I moved on to the skewers. The chicken, cut into cubes, was lightly seasoned, then I began assembling the skewers, alternating pieces of chicken, bacon, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion. This way, I created colorful and well-balanced skewers, ready to cook evenly on the grill.
- Once the pancake batter had rested, I heated the FRAM grill to medium and lightly brushed the surface with a little oil to prevent sticking. I poured the first ladle of batter, letting it settle and form the characteristic gentle waves. When the edges started turning golden, it was time to flip the pancake with a flexible spatula; the other side browned just as beautifully, staying fluffy and evenly cooked.
- While the pancake was cooking on one side of the grill, the chicken and bacon skewers with vegetables started to brown on the other. The grill’s 180° opening allowed me to monitor both dishes simultaneously, without moving them or constantly checking, and the results were perfectly even and impressive: golden, wavy, and fluffy pancakes, and juicy, crispy skewers.
- I continued with the rest of the batter and skewers, keeping the same rhythm and enjoying the colors and aromas filling the kitchen. The result was a “2-in-1” meal, perfect for brunch or dinner: a contrast of textures, vibrant colors, and flavors that harmonize beautifully.
- I stacked the pancakes on plates and placed the chicken and bacon skewers with vegetables alongside them. Everyone served themselves as they wished. For serving, I also prepared a simple but delicious garlic yogurt sauce, which pairs perfectly with both dishes and wonderfully enhances their flavors.
- I’ll wrap up with a delicious, colorful, and super quick meal. Perfect for brunch or a relaxed dinner—too bad I can’t share the taste with you! Enjoy!
