Leftover Chicken Crepes are a savory, elegant way to repurpose cooked chicken into a creamy, comforting dish. Filled with a rich chicken mixture, rolled in delicate crepes, and baked until golden, they make a versatile meal for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  2. 2 large eggs
  3. 1/2 cup milk
  4. 1/2 cup water
  5. 1/4 tsp salt
  6. 2 tbsp butter (for cooking crepes)
  7. 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  8. 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup sour cream
  9. 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
  10. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  11. 1/2 medium onion, diced
  12. 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  13. Salt and pepper, to taste
  14. Optional: 1 cup chopped spinach or mushrooms
  15. Optional topping: béchamel, Alfredo, or cheese sauce

Instructions

In a blender or mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt until smooth. Let rest for 15–30 minutes.

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour in about 1/4 cup batter, swirl to coat, and cook 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  3. Add chicken, cream cheese or sour cream, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and optional vegetables. Stir until creamy and well combined.
  4. Spoon filling into each crepe, roll, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Top with sauce and extra cheese if desired.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes covered, then uncover and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  1. Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge, separated by parchment.
  2. Rotisserie chicken makes prep quicker and adds flavor.
  3. Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter filling.
  4. Baking helps meld flavors, but crepes can be served without baking if preferred.
  5. These can be frozen before or after baking for meal prep.
