Ingredients
Crêpe Batter
1 cup all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK) - Sifted for smoothness
2 large eggs - Preferably free-range
1 cup milk - Whole milk for richness
2 tbsp unsalted butter - Melted
1 pinch salt
Chicken Filling
1 tbsp olive oil - Extra virgin for a fruity note
1 small onion - Finely chopped
0.5 lb ground chicken (minced chicken) - Preferably organic
2 tbsp Dijon mustard - Adds zest and complexity
1 tbsp parsley - Fresh, chopped- 1 pinch salt - To taste, adjust seasoning as needed
1 pinch ground black pepper - To taste, adjust seasoning as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crêpe Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Finally, stir in melted butter. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to rest.
- Cook the Crêpes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Brush lightly with butter. Pour a small ladle of batter and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until edges start to lift and turn lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent. Add chicken mince, cooking until browned. Stir in Dijon mustard and parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Crêpes: Place a crêpe on a plate, fill with chicken mixture, and fold into quarters or roll into a cylinder. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Notes
For a vegetarian alternative, substitute chicken mince with sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
