Stuffed Chicken Crepe Pockets
Description
The crepes are made by whisking eggs with flour, then gradually adding milk and vegetable oil to form a smooth batter. They are cooked over medium-high heat in a preheated pan and flipped carefully to prevent tearing. The filling involves cooking chicken breast in salted boiling water until done, shredding it finely, and mixing it with softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper to taste.
The filling is spooned onto each crepe, which is then gathered into a coin purse shape, secured with a green onion as a tie. These pockets are placed in an oven-safe dish and baked at 350°F for about 15 minutes just before serving, allowing the filling to warm through and the flavors to meld.
This preparation creates a delicate crepe exterior with a rich, creamy chicken filling that can function as a dish for main meals or elegant finger foods. The use of green onion ties maintains portion shapes and adds extra freshness.
Ingredients
Crepe
- 6 egg
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
Filling
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 tbsp salt to taste
Instructions
Making the Crepes
- Whisk eggs with flour until smooth. Add milk as you stir. Follow suit with oil.
- Preheat a frying pan or crepe pan until it's sizzling hot, keeping heat at medium-high. Spray the pan with oil, but just this once. You do not need to do this for the remaining crepes, as the batter already contains enough oil.
- Lift up the frying pan with one hand and pour the batter in with the other, rotating it carefully to evenly distribute. Flip crepes by lifting the edges with a fork carefully.
Putting Crepe Pockets Together
- Cook chicken breast in boiling water seasoned with salt. Once chicken is cooked, shred it into small pieces. Add softened cream cheese and green onions.
- Add in salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of a crepe.
- Bring all sides together like a coin purse and tighten them up with a green onion. Place pockets in an oven safe dish in the oven for 15 minutes at 350°F right before serving. Note: You can also warm them in the microwave in a pinch.)
