HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM CREPES WITH BECHAMEL
CREPES:
Step 1: In a blender, place the eggs, flour, and milk and process until mixed. Allow the crepe batter to rest for at least 20 minutes.
Step 2: Brush a hot crepe pan with melted butter and pour scant 1/3 c of batter into the pan. Tilt the pan to coat and cook the butter over medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes until the top of the crepe looks dull and the edges are easily pulled up. Under the crepe, run a wide metal spatula and carefully flip the crepe. Continue to cook the crepe for another minute. Repeat with the rest of the crepe batter.
Step 3: Stake the crepes and set them aside.
Chicken- Mushroom Bechamel Filling:
Step 4: In a chef’s pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Then, add the mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook for about 8 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.
Step 5: Melt the rest of the 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the flour to the pan and cook for approximately 2 minutes until you have a mixture that resembles a paste. Pour in the milk, stirring constantly until blended. Continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. Next, pour in the wine and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
To assemble:
Step 6: Down the middle of each crepe, ladle about a half cup of the mixture. Fold each edge of the crepe and roll.
