Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for greasing)
- 2 cups chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges slightly lift and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter to make 8 crepes. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream and chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the tarragon, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
To assemble, place a few tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each crepe. Roll the crepe into a cylinder and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the tarragon cream sauce over the filled crepes, ensuring they are well-covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly.
Serve warm, garnished with extra tarragon if desired.
