Instructions:

2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat it lightly with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove the crepe and place on a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used up, ensuring the skillet is lightly greased between each crepe.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Add the chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink in the middle, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same frying pan, add the sliced mushrooms, chopped scallions, and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and chicken gravy. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Serve: Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped scallions if desired.

Enjoy your homemade chicken and mushroom crepes! With their savory filling and delicate texture, they make a delightful meal that is both satisfying and impressive. Pair them with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded dish that’s perfect for any occasion.

Chicken and mushroom crepes FAQ:

What is the ideal cooking time for the crepes?

Each crepe should be cooked for about 2 minutes on the first side, or until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip it and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Adjust cooking time as needed based on your skillet's heat.

How do I know when the chicken is properly cooked?

The chicken is done when it is no longer pink in the middle and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Cut into the thickest part to check for doneness if you're unsure.

Can I use a different type of flour for the crepes?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with alternatives like whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture may vary slightly. Make sure to adjust the liquid if necessary.

How should I store leftover Chicken and Mushroom Crepes?

Store leftover crepes and filling separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove before serving.

What can I substitute for heavy whipping cream if I want a lighter option?

You can substitute heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version, but the sauce will be less rich and may not thicken as well.

Tips:

- Use a non-stick pan to make the crepes so they cook evenly and don’t stick.

- Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before making the crepes. This helps the flour to fully hydrate and results in a better texture.

- Cook the chicken until it’s just done to avoid dryness. Overcooked chicken can become tough and chewy.

- Slice the mushrooms and scallions thinly for a more even texture and more balanced flavor in each bite.

- If the cream or gravy thickens too much while cooking, you can add a splash of milk to achieve a smoother consistency.

- Crepes can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a low oven until you are ready to fill them.
