Chicken crepes
Rotisserie chicken can be a mother's life saver. I like to buy two on Sunday when they are on sale. Feed one to your family for dinner with a nice salad and baked potato; take the other chicken and make these simple delicious chicken crepes. Everyone is a fan of these! I think they are best served with peas.
Yields: 6 crepes
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 c. of celery chopped
2 T. minced garlic
2 T. olive oil
3 c. chopped rotisserie chicken
1 c. chopped fresh mushrooms
1c. and 1/2 c. grated gruyere cheese
1/2 c. grated parmigiano cheese
6 flour tortillas
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. white wine
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
Sauce:
3 T. butter
3 T. flour
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
2 c. chicken stock
1 1/2 c. half and half
1c. Gruyere cheese
In a medium sauce pan, add olive oil, onions and cook on medium heat until transparent. Add celery and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the wine. Allow these ingredients to come together for a couple of minutes while stirring. Add salt and pepper and parsley. Combine in the chopped chicken and mix all together. Set aside
Sauce:
In a medium sauce pan add butter and melt it on medium heat. Add flour and create a roux. Stir. Add chicken stock, salt and pepper and stir constantly for about 4-5 min. while sauce thickens. Once it has thickened, add the Gruyere cheese and stir until combined.
Add 3/4 sauce to chicken and vegetable mixture. Mix well. Put the chicken mixture in the tortillas one at a time and roll them up placing them in a 13x9 greased baking dish. Once all 6 are filled and rolled pour the remaining sauce on top of each tortilla. Top with Parmigiano cheese and bake on 350 until cheese is melted. About 15 - 20 minutes. Enjoy!
