Chicken and Broccoli Crepes with Cheese Sauce Recipe

Every now and then I have to make crepes so delicious, easy and inexpensive to make.

I use to go to a place with my Mom it was a treat when we went to the mall-The Magic Pan and we would order a crepe like this-I tried my best to come as close to what I remembered. It was so cute last night my youngest son who s 15 was gaming-they talk to their friends while they do and he said have you ever had crepes before?

My son who is a man of little words kept saying Mom these are really delicious. Are you going to make he dessert too? It tickled me-I love to make good food and make the people I love happyJ

Chicken and Broccoli Crepes with Cheese Sauce Recipe

Chicken:

2 boneless skinless breasts slice into thin tenders

1 Olive oil

½ cup chicken broth

Knorr’s chicken stock tub-1/4 of tub

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet add olive oil chicken, salt and pepper to taste.

Cook chicken until cooked through. Slice into thin strips. Put broth and ¼ of Knorr’s chicken stock tub in a small microwavable bowl heat until dissolved. Add to pan with chicken keep on low heat stir to keep chicken moist and absorb the flavor of the broth.

Broccoli:

2 Crowns of Broccoli-cut in to strips

2 Tbsp. Butter

Bring a large pan of water to a boil-enough water to cover broccoli.

Add broccoli once the water is boiling-cook for 4 minutes. Put in colander and drawn and put cold water over to stop cooking. Put back in pan and add butter. Set aside.

Cheese Sauce:

2 Tbsp. Butter

2 Tbsp. Flour

1 cup Milk

Pinch a nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ½ Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded

Melt butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Add flour stir until pasty. Slowly add milk whisking until smooth. Add cheese little at a time whisking until melted. Add nutmeg and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. I reheat just before serving. If it is thick just add a little milk until the consistency you desire.

Crepe: I posted a Crepe pan from Chef.com last week. They are available at allot of stores pretty reasonably. Mine is by Maxim company called Maxim electric crepe maker-it is so easy with a light that lets you know when it is done. I saw it new for $38.10.

¾ cup Milk

¾ cup Water

1 cup All-purpose Flour

3 Eggs

¼ Tsp. Salt

2 Tbsp. Butter melted

Add all ingredients in blender and mix until smooth. Place in a glass pie dish or a large shallow dish.

Season crepe maker-I spray butter on and wipe off with napkin. Heat up crepe maker. Dip crepe maker in batter until coated-I find it is too thin so I quickly dip twice and it is perfect. Cook until light comes on. Gently use a knife to loosen from the sides and put crepe on plate. I put a few slices of chicken 2 spears of broccoli, ladle cheese sauce along the inside, then close the crepe and drizzle a little cheese sauce along the top.

I usually have plenty of batter left over. So once dinner settles. I whisk the batter again heat up the crepe maker to make more crepes and put a little vanilla ice cream in a thin strip inside the crepe drizzle some warm Sanders Hot fudge, close the crepe and drizzle a little more hot fudge.

So delicious and really inexpensive to make-a real treat!

Turkey day is almost here...planning is key to making a beautiful delicious Thanks Giving feast

I love Thanks Giving! I cook for 2 days. I make everything from scratch cooking fresh foods and passed down family recipes. I always ask my family what do you think? When it comes to Thanksgiving -they say do not change a thing it is perfect and we all look forward to it. I must admit I like that there are left overs...I do not have to cook complete meals for a couple days because I do some clever things with the leftovers which are sooo good-I'll share them with you in time for you to try them too.

I will start posting my Thanksgiving recipes starting the beginning of November. I do not like to brag-most of them are recipes passed on through generations-they are really good.
It was funny and a compliment but one of my husbands co-workers started coming to our home for Thanksgiving he texted my husband his family was out of town he would be eating at Waffle House-we welcomed to our Home-he came every year until we moved-I was honored because he loved my food:)
