Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Stuffed Crepes is a dish of French origin. Crepes have been an integral part of French culinary tradition for centuries and are very much part of the cuisine of Brittany. They can be crêpes sucrées, or sweet crepes, or crêpes salées, or savory ones. Stuffing chicken and mushrooms with a creamy sauce reminds one of other French recipes such as vol-au-vent or blanquette de veau, showing the ‘French love’ for rich, comforting sauces and delicate presentation.
Its cream-based sauce is French; mushrooms and chicken give it a classy but cosy package arrangement like no other. This dish was probably modified into crepes when the chefs felt the need to creatively find a way to fit flavours of French sauces in a delicate, portable wrapper. Now, it's one of the most favourite food recipes around, tailored to the taste of the local brethren but keeping that essence of French root.

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM STUFFED CREPES RECIPE
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh chicken, mushrooms, and dairy. Fresh usually tastes better, and normally fresh ingredients have a better feel in the mouth.
Rest The Crepe Batter: Let rest the Crepe Batter Smooth batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before cooking to let the gluten relax, so they will produce soft, pliable crepes.
Cook The Crepes Uniformly: Using a non-stick pan or crepe maker, the crepes can be cooked uniformly. Pour a small amount of batter into it, tilt the pan so that it spreads thinly in the pan, and cook until golden lightly.
Saute Mushrooms Properly: Cook mushrooms over medium heat until golden and their moisture evaporates. This step enhances their flavour and prevents a watery filling.
Season Well: Season the chicken and mushrooms with salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme or parsley. Balanced seasoning elevates the taste of the dish.
Use High-Quality Cream: By using high-quality creams like Olpers dairy cream, have been used for the creamy sauce. These mix well and thicken your filling into a velvety texture.
Don't Overfill With The Crepes: They tend to tear with overstuffing. They fold in nicely, and they will hold well if not over-stuffed.
Bake The Final Touch: Put your filled crepes into a baking dish, drizzle on some light cheese sauce and into the oven for 10–15 minutes.
What a lovely golden finish to a delicious meal.
