Steps:

Arrange 1/4 cup chicken mixture and 1 heaping tablespoon spinach down center of crepe; roll into a cylinder. Transfer, seam-side down, to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; assemble and arrange more crepes, leaving 1/2 inch in between each. Spoon more bechamel on top and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Switch oven to broiler setting and cook until browning in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with parsley.

CHICKEN CREPES
Looked at all the other Chicken Crepe recipes and mine is not like the others! I first found this recipe in my mom's old cook book, but have totally tweaked it and made it my own! It's one of my favorites to eat, and my family gets so excited when I make these! I usually double or triple the gravy to have lots of it to pour over the crepes and enough left over to have with mashed potatoes.
