Ingredients
For the crepes:
- 150 g of flour
- 2 eggs
- 33 cl of milk
- 1 pinch of salt
- 30 g of melted butter
For the filling:
- 400 g of chicken breast
- 1 onion
- 200 g of button mushrooms
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- 2 Greek yogurts
- 1 tsp of tandoori spices
- Salt, pepper
Preparation of the Crepes
- Prepare the crepe batter: In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Make a well in the center and break the eggs into it. Beat them and gradually incorporate the milk while whisking to obtain a smooth batter. Add the melted butter and let the batter rest for 30 minutes (perfect for a light and lump-free texture).
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick pan and brush it lightly with melted butter. Pour a small ladle of batter, spread it evenly and cook each crepe until golden on both sides. Repeat the process until all the batter is used up.
Preparation of the Filling
- Prepare the vegetables: Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Slice the bell pepper and cut the mushrooms into slices.
- Cook the chicken: In a pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the chicken pieces and tandoori spices, brown. Incorporate the mushrooms and bell pepper, cook for a few minutes. Finally, add the Greek yogurts to bring a creamy touch. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Assembling the Chicken Crepes
- Fill the crepes: On each crepe, place a portion of chicken filling in the center. Roll the crepes into a cigar shape or fold them into a triangle.
- Serve hot: Arrange the filled crepes in a dish, sprinkle with grated cheese (optional) and bake for a few minutes to lightly gratin. Serve with a green salad for a touch of freshness.
Tips and Variations
- Curry variation: Add a teaspoon of curry powder for an exotic flavor.
- Gratin version: Coat the filled crepes with bechamel sauce and bake to gratin for an even more gourmet dish.
- For vegetarians: Replace the chicken with grilled vegetables or marinated tofu.
