Happy cooking,
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, but I love using cheddar or mozzarella)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Make the Crepe Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and melted butter; beat until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Keep crepes warm while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme, and cook for another minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you're using cheese, sprinkle it over the filling and let it melt slightly.
- Assemble the Crepes:
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable filling into the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling, then fold the ends over to form a neat package.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
