Time 45m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups milk
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter
1 ¼ cups diced celery
1 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon curry powder
1 cup milk
2 cubes chicken bouillon
½ cup warm water
¾ cup sliced black olives
2 ½ cups cooked, diced chicken breast meat
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • To Make Crepes: In a medium bowl combine the flour, milk, eggs, oil and salt and beat together for 1 minute, until you have a smooth, thin batter.
  • Heat a lightly greased medium skillet over medium heat, pouring in a thin layer of crepe batter that covers bottom of pan. Brown on one side only, repeating until all of the batter is used. Set crepes aside.
  • To Make Filling: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute celery and onion until just barely tender. Stir in flour, salt and curry, blending well. Dissolve bouillon in water, then pour milk and bouillon mixture into skillet, stirring until well mixed and thickened. Add olives and chicken and mix all together.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spoon some of the filling mixture onto the center of each crepe, leaving enough room to fold edges burrito-style. Fold up crepes and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

CURRY CHICKEN CREPES

Categories     Chicken     Sauté     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 rib celery, thinly sliced
1 Tbs. curry powder, or to taste
Pinch cayenne, or to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups homemade or low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-1/2 cups 1/2-inch pieces cooked chicken (from about 4 small breast halves)
8 crêpes
3 Tbs. sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the curry powder and cayenne and cook for another 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour has lost its raw taste, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the broth and raisins. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, whisking often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper, increase the heat to high and boil to thicken for about 3 minutes. Strain about 1 cup of the mixture through a fine sieve to use as the sauce. Combine the remaining cream mixture with the cooked chicken and stir well to blend. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a medium baking dish. Arrange the crêpes flat on a large work surface. Divide the chicken filling evenly among them (about 1/3 cup each), spooning it in the center of each crêpe. Roll each crêpe into a thick cylinder. Arrange the filled crêpes in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour the reserved sauce over the center of the crêpes. Bake, uncovered, until the sauce is bubbly and the crêpes are lightly browned on the edges, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and cilantro and serve

Tips:

- Marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and red chili powder not only tenderizes the meat but also enhances its flavor. - Sautéing the chicken until golden brown before adding the spices and other ingredients creates a flavorful base for the curry. - Using a combination of coconut milk and water instead of just water adds a rich, creamy texture to the curry and balances the heat of the spices. - Incorporating finely chopped fresh herbs like cilantro and mint at the end of the cooking process adds a refreshing touch and enhances the overall flavor profile of the curry. - To make gluten-free crepes, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Additionally, be sure to use plant-based milk instead of regular milk. - Ensure that the crepes are thin and pliable to ensure easy rolling and prevent them from breaking. - Cooking the crepes in a well-seasoned pan or crepe pan helps prevent sticking and ensures an even cook. - Filling the crepes with a generous amount of chicken curry filling and folding them neatly ensures a satisfying, flavorful bite. - Drizzling a bit of additional coconut milk or a squeeze of lime juice over the filled crepes adds an extra layer of flavor and richness.
