Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Crepes
Looking for a delicious and different dinner idea? These Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Crepes are flavorful, easy to make, and perfect for entertaining.
Since they are filling, you don’t need to make an extra side dish. Just serve them as a full meal.
Now that the Holiday season is upon us, our cooking marathon starts. Dinners, parties, get-togethers, etc I recommend this dish for potlucks! just like a casserole but fancier.
Choose to make your own crepes (recipe below) or buy them already made. It all depends on your preferences and the time you have available.
Also, if you’re not a fan of asparagus, sub with any other vegetable of your preference: spinach, green beans, zucchini, squash, etc
For these Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Crepes, I used cooked chicken, leftovers, or store-bought. I always like to buy supermarket rotisserie chicken so I can shred it and it use for recipes.
You’ll remember I made some chicken corn crepe casserole I while ago… That was so good and gooey. This time I made them a little fancier to serve them at dinner parties, non-kosher Shabbat, etc.
Different flavor profiles but with the same idea.
I would suggest making 2 casseroles and freezing one. Next time the company comes over just pop it in the oven and voila! dinner is served. Work once and eat twice.
Just fill crepes with the chicken mixture
And place them on a casserole dish and bake!
Now changing the subject.
Now that the year is almost over, are you tired of thinking about what to cook every day? Because I am…. honestly, I get tired! Even on thinking about a meal, a menu… every single day.
If you are like me, can you give me some advice on how to survive the end-of-the-year burnout?
I hope you can make these Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Crepes. If you do, please let me know what you think.
