Time 57m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cubes chicken bouillon
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup sour cream
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2 teaspoons dried parsley, divided
1 cup milk
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups milk, chicken bouillon cubes, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and sherry.
  • Scoop 1 cup sauce into a bowl; keep warm. Stir chicken and 1 teaspoon parsley into remaining sauce in the skillet. Simmer until chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup flour, egg, 1 tablespoon melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and baking powder together in a bowl to make crepe batter.
  • Grease a 7-inch skillet lightly; heat over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons batter into the skillet, swirling to spread evenly. Cook crepe until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer crepe to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, separating crepes with waxed paper and covering to keep warm.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup chicken mixture onto each crepe and roll up. Spoon reserved 1 cup sauce over filled crepes. Garnish with remaining 1 teaspoon parsley.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 32

1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
12 Crepes, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grated Gruyere
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock, hot
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon milk
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Essence, recipe follows
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 ounces mushrooms (such as button and shiitake), stems trimmed, wiped clean, and roughly chopped
1/4 pound baked ham, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Pinch salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons melted unsalted butter
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a glass 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened into a pale blond roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the hot stock in a steady stream, whisking to incorporate. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently with a heavy wooden spoon until thick. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper, and stir to incorporate. Slowly whisk in the cream and simmer, stirring, until well incorporated and thickened. Remove from the heat and very lightly film the top with the milk to prevent a skin from forming.
  • In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season lightly with Essence, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. To the fat and juices in the pan add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring, until they have given off their water and are starting to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ham and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the sherry and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan. Add the tarragon and green onions, and return the chicken to the pan. Stir well to blend and cook until the sherry has evaporated. Reduce the heat to low and stir in enough of the cream sauce to bind and thicken, 1 to 1 1/2 cups. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Place the crepes on a work surface. One at a time, spoon the filling along the bottom third of each crepe, about 3 tablespoons per crepe, and roll into a cylinder to enclose the filling. Place, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
  • To the remaining cream sauce, add the Gruyere and stir to incorporate. Spoon the sauce evenly over the crepes. (NOTE: The crepes can be tightly covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for 1 day or frozen for 3 days at this point. Bring to room temperature before baking.)
  • Bake until warmed through and the top starts to become bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place in a chafing dish holder or on trivets. Serve hot, 1 to 2 crepes per person.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  • Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and 4 1/2 teaspoons of the butter to form a smooth, thin batter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding.
  • Heat a heavy 6-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush with a light coating of the remaining butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan, tilting the skillet to evenly coat the pan with batter. Cook until golden brown on the bottom and the top begins to look dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn the crepe and cook on the second side just until the bottom colors slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with waxed paper to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Assemble as directed in the Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Crepes. (Alternatively, make ahead and when cool, layer between sheets of waxed paper and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.)

CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM CREPES



Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Crepes image

Make your life easier by buying a rotisserie chicken from the deli counter and use the breast meat for this recipe. You'll save time without compromising the calorie count. You'll have some leftover chicken for another meal later in the week. If you can't find baby portobello mushrooms, use cremini mushrooms. Look for packaged crepes in the produce aisle.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 6 crepes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon butter
1 cup vertically sliced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups thinly sliced baby portobello mushroom caps (about 6 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup creme fraiche
2 cups shredded roasted boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 (9 inch) packaged french crepes (such as Melissa's)
thyme, springs (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 2 minutes or until onion begins to brown. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper; cook 3 minutes or until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Add wine, and cook 3 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently. Add broth and fresh thyme; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add Creme Frache, stirring until well blended. Add chicken, tossing to coat.
  • Place 1 crepe on each of 6 plates. Spoon about 1/3 cup mushroom mixture into center of each crepe; roll up. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling (pun intended).
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your crepes will taste. If possible, use organic, free-range chicken and eggs.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your crepes tough and rubbery. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the Crepes Over Medium Heat: Medium heat will help the crepes cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the Crepes Carefully: Crepes are delicate, so be careful when flipping them. Use a spatula with a thin edge to avoid tearing the crepes.
  • Keep the Crepes Warm: As you cook the crepes, keep them warm in a single layer on a plate covered with foil.
  • Use a Variety of Fillings: Crepes can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as chicken, mushrooms, cheese, vegetables, or fruit. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.

Conclusion:

Chicken and mushroom crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken and mushroom crepes a try.
