What Cheeses Are Used in the Chicken Filling?

For this recipe, I’m using a combination of cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Other great cheeses that would be excellent here include provolone, Pecorino Romano, Monterey Jack, cheddar (particularly white cheddar!), Gouda and ricotta! You basically want one soft creamy cheese, one pully, stringy cheese, and one hard cheese! Mix and match the different cheeses and let me know what worked well with you!

Can I Use Pre-Cooked Rotisserie Chicken?

Sure thing! For this recipe, I’ve air fried my chicken and then shredded it. You can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or poach your chicken and then shred it!

How to Make the Best Creamy Chicken Crepes

For this recipe I’ll go over how to make the crepe batter and how to cook the crepes, in addition to making the chicken filling and how to add it in your crepes. If you want to save some time, you could certainly use store-bought crepes, but I think that takes the fun and joy out of the experience of enjoying freshly prepared, piping hot, satisfying crepes! It will certainly be really rewarding to make your own crepes from scratch, and if you have extra batter, you can save it to experiment with other crepe fillings. For more details on making the perfect soft and thin crepes and how to store extras, check out my Classic Crepe Batter Recipe!

Make the Batter

How to Make Batter by Hand

Measure the flour, milk, salt, sugar and eggs in a bowl and whisk until combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 15-30 minutes.

How to Make Batter in a Blender

Measure the flour, milk, salt, sugar and eggs in a food processor and blend for 5-6 pulses or until combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 15-30 minutes.

How to Make the filling

Use leftover rotisserie chicken or poach your chicken. With the help of two forks, pull the chicken into strands and transfer to a bowl.
Heat butter in a pan and once hot, add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds and then add the spinach. Add a pinch of salt and continue mixing on medium to medium high heat until the spinach wilts.
Transfer the spinach to the same bowl as the chicken, followed by cream cheese and mozzarella. Mix well. Then add salt and pepper to taste and mix in lime juice. Set chicken filling aside until it's time to prepare the crepe.

Preparing the Crepe

Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan on medium heat and add 1/4 to 1/3 Cup of batter at the center of the pan. Swirl the pan around to spread the batter thin. you have a crepe spreader, this would make this much easier.
Let the crepe set and once you are able to slide the crepe around, carefully flip the crepe use a crepe turner or a fish spatula. Briefly cook the other side and then flip it back.
Spread the chicken filling in the crepe and fold the crepe as desired. You can either roll it into a cigar by spreading the mixture down the diameter of the crepe, or into a square parcel by spreading it in the middle.
Toss your green salad mix with some dressing and top it on your crepe. Serve right away!

Can I make These crepes ahead of time?

Your crepes will be the most delicious made to order! However, what you could do is have the batter ready and/or your chicken mixture ready ahead of time, and then follow the instructions above when you’re ready to cook! Store batter and chicken mixture separately in air tight containers, or in bowls covered with plastic wrap. The chicken filling will stay fresh in the fridge for about two days, and the crepe batter will stay fresh for about 3 days.

I wouldn’t recommend you cook the crepes with filling and then store them. This is because we have our filling with chicken and cheese, and the filling will become soggy. You’re better off having the crepe batter and chicken mixture stored separately in the fridge, and cooking the crepes fresh!

Another option is to cook plain crepes and then heat them on a pan and add your filling, as described above. Cooked crepes will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Tips for the perfect savoury Chicken crepes

Overmixing = Bad: Don’t overmix the batter, we don’t want to overwork the eggs. This will ensure the crepes stay nice and soft.
Maintain reasonable heat: Make sure the pan is not too hot otherwise the pancakes will become too brown and crispy. A good way to test for this is when you add butter to the pan it should remain white. If it turns brown and nutty instantly, take the pan off the heat for a minute or so.
Use a delicate hand: Crepes are delicate, use a crepe turner/fish spatula/thin spatula to turn the crepes.
