For a long long time, I had been playing with this recipe through testing. This dish was born when French chicken crepes wedded creamy white sauce.
Why try this recipe?
The dish of chicken crepes is delicious — full of flavors. The crepes are like crepes —- soft and light. (I can have it on its own or better with a sauce.) A filling is cheesy and fairly spiced, with greens to add more bite to the dish. We all love it!!!
Ingredients
I’ve divided the ingredients into two sections that are the ingredients for savory crepes batter and the ingredients for filling. The ingredients of crepes batter are flour, milk, butter, salt, and eggs. That’s it! Just blend them. This white sauce-based filling with chicken and greens and loads of seasonings.
Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, cut into small pieces. Milk: I used full-fat milk to make the white sauce creamy. Oil: To cook the crepes, you can use any neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil. Plain Flour Seasonings: For the chicken filling, I can use a variety of seasonings to enhance the flavors, such as salt, black pepper, oregano powder, chicken bouillon cube, garlic, and green chili. Greens: For added nutrition and flavor, add some bell pepper, and green onions. If you like it spicy then also add green chilies or skip them. Cheddar Cheese: For the topping, you can use grated cheddar cheese or any other cheese that you prefer, such as Swiss or mozzarella, or feta. Cheese adds a creamy and savory flavor to the chicken crepes.
How to make it?
You know what, this chicken crepes recipe is a bit of a process and takes some time to make, but trust me when I say it’s totally worth it. It’s so dang good! Don’t worry though, it’s not too difficult to put together, and the end result is seriously delicious. So get ready to roll up your sleeves and let’s begin.
Tips
You can make crepe batter 24 hours ahead. You can assemble the dish a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Remove from the fridge 2 hours before serving so it is at room temperature before baking. If you make this dish ahead, you can also reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving. Finally, I used the oven only to melt and broil my cheese. So, if you don’t have an oven just melt cheese by heating it in a microwave oven.
Variation
I prefer all green veggies for chicken crepes but you may add mushroom, corn, olives, jalapeno, and broccoli to your white sauce. Of course, you need to reduce other veggies and add your favorite ones. Cheese is added only on the top but if want a very cheesy crepe, add cheese to the filling as well. You can use any leftover chicken like a rotisserie as well. Mince fillings with also be a great option with savory crepe.
