Enjoy Chicken Mushroom Crepes with a creamy Mornay sauce. They taste rich and savory. These crepes are filled with soft chicken, mushrooms cooked in butter, and a delicious sauce. They are the perfect comfort food for any event.

Ingredients: For the Crepes:. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 cups milk. 2 large eggs. 2 tablespoons melted butter. 1/4 teaspoon salt. For the Filling:. 2 cups cooked chicken, diced. 1 cup mushrooms, sliced. 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. 1 cup chicken broth. 1/2 cup heavy cream. Salt and pepper to taste. For the Mornay Sauce:. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. 1 cup milk. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Salt and nutmeg to taste. Additional Ingredients:. 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese. Chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: For the Crepes: In a blender, combine flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate. For the Filling: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and saut until translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown. Stir in the diced chicken and cook for a few minutes until heated through. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and mushroom mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For the Mornay Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until it starts to turn golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Assembly: Place a crepe on a flat surface and spoon some of the chicken and mushroom filling onto the center. Roll up the crepe and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Pour the Mornay sauce over the rolled crepes in the baking dish, and sprinkle with grated Gruyere cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F 175C for about 20-25 minutes or until the crepes are heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Mushroom Crepes with Mornay Sauce!
