Gradually add the water and whisk until you have a smooth batter.Cut the chicken breast into small cubes and finely chop the shallot. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a pan with some olive oil, then add the shallot and chicken. Season with some pepper, paprika powder and salt. Fry the chicken until lightly golden.When the chicken is cooked, take half of it out of the pan and put it on a separate plate. Half of the chicken will remain in the pan.Use a ladle to pour some of the chickpea mixture into the pan (medium-high heat). Press halved olives into the pancake, along with half the pine nuts and half a teaspoon of cumin seeds. After about 3 minutes, flip the pancake when it is nicely golden brown.After flipping the pancake you can place some of the spinach on top. Meanwhile, cut the avocado into small cubes and arrange a bed of spinach on a plate with the remaining pieces of chicken and avocado.When the pancake is golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side), scoop it onto the spinach bed and optionally garnish with a little extra spinach.
