Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, beat eggs and milk with whisk until well combined. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and sugar, stirring with whisk until no lumps remain and batter is slightly thinner than pancake batter. (If batter is too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add more flour.)
- Heat 6- to 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon oil and rotate to coat bottom of skillet. For each crepe, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Immediately tilt and rotate skillet so thin layer of batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown and edges start to curl up, about 2 minutes. Run wide spatula around edge to loosen; turn and cook other side until light brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil to skillet as needed. Stack crepes, placing waxed paper between; keep covered.
- In medium bowl, toss chicken, ham and cheese. Divide filling among crepes; roll up. Place seam side down in baking dish. Bake uncovered 15 minutes or until warm.
- Meanwhile, in 1 1/2-quart saucepan, vigorously stir egg yolks and lemon juice with wire whisk. Add salt and 1/4 cup of the butter. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly with whisk, until butter is melted. Add remaining 1/4 cup butter. Continue stirring vigorously until butter is melted and sauce is thickened. (Be sure butter melts slowly so eggs have time to cook and the sauce thickens without curdling.) If sauce curdles (begins to separate), add about 1 tablespoon boiling water and beat vigorously with whisk until smooth.
- To serve, place crepes on individual plates. Top with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the crepes are cooked evenly, use a nonstick skillet or lightly grease a regular skillet before pouring in the batter.
- For a crispy crepe, cook it for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- If you want a softer crepe, cook it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, or until cooked through.
- Be careful not to overfill the crepes, or they will be difficult to fold.
- To prevent the crepes from sticking together, place them on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If you are making the crepes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat the crepes, wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
