Directions:Crepes:
In a medium or large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add remaining ingredients (except butter) and beat until smooth, using an electric mixer (the buzz buzz thing works great). Don't over mix. For each crepe, lightly brush a hot 8 inch skillet with melted butter. Pour a scant 1/4 c. of batter into the skillet and tilt it until the batter covers the bottom of the pan. Cook until light brown; turn and brown on the other side. Stack on a plate until all the batter is used up. Fill with the chicken broccoli filling, or use as a fun dessert or breakfast.
Filling:
Cut broccoli into 2 inch "trees", leaving plenty of stalk. Drop the cut broccoli into enough boiling water to cover it. Cover and time 5 minutes. When water returns to a boil, reduce heat so it doesn't boil over. When 5 minutes are up, drain and turn the cooked broccoli onto cutting board. Chop it up into coarse chunks. Set aside. In the same pot (3 or 4 quart). Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Then over a medium high heat stir the sauce briskly with a wire whip to blend out any lumps (buzz buzz thing works well for this). Keep stirring over medium high heat until it thickens and boils. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Stir in the chunked chicken and broccoli and remove from heat. Now fill crepes and place in a lightly greased 13x9. Cover with aluminum foil and heat in 350º oven for 20 to 30 minutes. |
