Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, milk, water, eggs, and cooking oil until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let rest for 10 minutes.
-
Heat a lightly greased 6-inch skillet over medium heat. Spoon in about 2 tablespoons of batter, lifting and tilting the skillet to spread it thinly and evenly.
-
Cook the crepe for about 1 minute or until the edges begin to curl and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
-
For the filling, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms until tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
-
Add frozen peas and chopped cooked chicken to the pan. Stir in instant chicken bouillon, white wine, snipped parsley, and a dash of Tabasco sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
-
Place 2-3 crepes on a baking sheet. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the crepes. Top with shredded Gruyère cheese and a pinch of paprika.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 375ðF (190ðC) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
