In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 1 egg, low-fat milk, and salt. Whisk until smooth to create a pancake batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
In a non-stick frying pan, lightly coat with vegetable oil spray. Pour a small amount of batter to cover the bottom, creating a thin crepe. Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and set. Repeat until all batter is used, setting crepes aside on a flat surface.
Dice the chicken breast and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a skillet, heat a few sprays of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sautΓ© until the onion becomes translucent.
Add diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it turns white. Then, add grated carrot and chopped green beans.
Pour in the vegetable broth and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Season with black pepper and adjust salt if necessary. Let this filling mixture cool.
Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place a spoonful of the filling onto each crepe, folding the sides over and rolling it into a neat parcel.
Beat the remaining egg in a shallow dish. Dip each rolled crepe in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the risoles on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with vegetable oil spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
