Instructions
Make the Crepes:
- In a blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter, swirling the pan to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
Prepare the Chicken Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
- Add shredded chicken, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and herbs. Cook until heated through and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Crepes:
- Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over to create a pocket or roll into a cylinder.
- Arrange on a serving plate and garnish with parsley or additional sauce.
Serve:
- Serve warm as a main course or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
