A great way to use up leftover chicken! It's teamed with garlicky sauteed spinach and a rich Gruyere bechamel for the filling of these hearty crepes.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Savory Crepes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (1 tablespoon)
5 ounces baby spinach (5 cups, lightly packed)
Gruyere Bechamel
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup Gruyere, shredded
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Transfer to a work surface, chop, and set aside.
  • Mix 3/4 cup bechamel with chicken. Working with one at a time, place crepe on a work surface. 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.

NORTH CROATIAN FRIED CHICKEN CREPES

This is time consuming meal to prepare it, but at the end it is worth it. You can eat it as a full lunch or even dinner. We usually serve this with Tartar sauce and lettuce. I am not going to submit crepes recipe - just make normal European crepes medium size. If you make more than you need you can freeze them (step just before frying).

Cut pickled cucumbers into small pieces and add into chicken. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and sauté for 2-5 minutes. Cool it and add sour cream (if you think stuffing is too liquid you can add some breadcrumbs in it, but be careful - not too much.
  • Make crepes, approximately 6-8 pieces (2 eggs, 250 ml milk and some flour).
  • Put stuffing on each crepe and fold it like cigar. Close the ends folding ends of cigar with finger (push into hole).
  • Whisk eggs like you make omelet. Put each "cigar" crepe first into flour, than eggs, and than breadcrumbs (like for Wiener schnitzel).
