Instructions
For Crepes
- Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend till smooth. Chill for 30 to 60 minutes to thicken.
- To cook, pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into the middle of a non-stick round skillet that has been heated to medium hot. Swirl the pan around to spread the batter
till it is very thin. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Cook all crepes and set aside.
For Filling and Sauce
- Cook cubed chicken in olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Remove chicken and set aside. In
same skillet, melt the 4 tablespoon butter. Whisk in the flour, then the milk. Cook and stir till thick and creamy. Boil for at least a minute to remove flour taste. Add salt, pepper, and cheese. Cook and stir till cheese is melted. Set aside about a cup of sauce. To the remaining sauce in the skillet, add the cooked chicken and broccoli. Stir till coated. Remove from heat. - Fill crepes with chicken broccoli mixture. Place into 2 greased 9 x
13 inch pans. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or till hot. - Heat sauce that was set aside, adding milk to thin if needed. Serve crepes with sauce and garnish with sliced almonds if desired.
