Making crepes with chicken is a delicious and savory dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Here's a simple recipe to guide you through the process:
Ingredients:
For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Pinch of salt
For the chicken filling:
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as Swiss or Gruyere)
- Fresh herbs (optional), for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the crepe batter by combining the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened.
4. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
6. Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter onto the pan, swirling it around to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
7. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
8. To assemble the crepes, place a spoonful of the chicken filling on one half of each crepe. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
9. Fold the crepe in half over the filling, then fold it in half again to form a triangle.
10. Place the filled crepes back in the pan briefly to melt the cheese and warm the filling.
11. Serve the crepes with chicken , garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
