Add the flour, oregano, and sparkling water. Mix with a whisk or spatula until you obtain a smooth batter, which should be slightly thicker than thin sour cream. If desired, you can add a splash of olive oil for extra flavor. Step 2: Baking the pancakes Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a couple of drops of oil. Use a small ladle to pour the batter into the pan, forming thin pancakes. Bake for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Place them on a plate, one on top of the other. There is no need to add oil after the first pancake, as the batter already contains the necessary ingredients. Step 3: Preparing the filling In a blender, add the chicken breast slices, garlic, and fresh parsley. Blend until you obtain small pieces, about the size of a pea, being careful not to turn the mixture into a paste. Add the mushrooms and blend again, then transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, and spices (salt, pepper, chili) and mix well. Let the mixture cool in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Step 4: Filling the pancakes Using a spoon, take some of the filling mixture and place it in the center of each pancake. Fold them like stuffed cabbage rolls and place them in a greased baking dish sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Step 5: Preparing the gratin sauce In another bowl, beat the sour cream, egg, and milk together. Add salt and mix well. Pour the mixture over the pancakes, sprinkling the grated cheese on top. Step 6: Baking Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Place the dish with galette in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes until a golden and appetizing crust forms on top. Step 7: Preparing the caper sauce Meanwhile, prepare the caper sauce. In a blender, add half of the capers (after rinsing them of vinegar), the cheese, parsley, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Blend well, then add the rest of the sour cream, yogurt, and spices to taste. You can leave the other half of the capers whole to add them to the sauce. Step 8: Serving Serve the galettes hot, generously drizzled with caper sauce. They are delicious and can be enjoyed both plain and alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes. Useful tips - Vegetable loading: You can add seasonal vegetables (such as spinach or peppers) to the filling for an extra boost of nutrients. - Variations: For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken breast with tofu or feta cheese. - Serving: The galettes are also excellent cold, so they can be prepared in advance and served at picnics or festive meals.
