HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM CREPES
Crepes:
Step 1: In a blender, place the eggs, flour, and milk. Pulse to mix, then allows the crepe batter to rest for about 20 minutes or so.
Step 2: Brush the melted butter into a crepe pan over medium heat. Into the pan, pour scant 1/3 c. of batter, tilting to coat the bottom. Cook the batter for about 1 to 2 minutes until the top of the crepe looks dull and the edges can easily be pulled up. Under the crepe, run a wide metal spatula. Flip and continue to cook the other side for a minute more. Repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to brush the pan with butter each time. Stack the crepes.
Chicken- Mushroom Béchamel Filling:
Step 3: In a chef’s pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Then, add the mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook for about 8 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has evaporated.
Step 4: Melt the rest of the 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture resembles a paste. Stir in the milk until blended. Continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Pour in the wine and add the salt, pepper, chicken, and mushrooms. Cook for additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5: In the center of each crepe, ladle about half c of the mixture. Then, fold the edges over and roll the crepe.
Step 6: Serve the chicken and mushroom crepes immediately. Enjoy!
