Mushroom and Chicken Crepe Packets

Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a blender, combine milk, flour, eggs, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Rest time: 30 minutes)

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Cook the Crepes: Melt a small amount of butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, immediately rotating the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the top is no longer wet and the bottom is lightly browned. Use a spatula to loosen the edges, flip the crepe, and cook for about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes per crepe)

Sauté the Filling: Heat another skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (Cook time: 5-6 minutes)

Create the Cheese Mixture: Stir in ricotta cheese and cream cheese into the mushroom mixture until melted and well combined, about 2-3 minutes. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

Combine Filling and Chicken: Stir in the chopped chicken, season with salt and pepper to taste, and heat through. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

Assemble the Crepe Packets: Spread a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan cheese in the center of each crepe. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken-mushroom mixture onto the cheese. Fold in the sides of the crepe to form a packet. Place the filled crepes, folded-side-down, in the prepared baking pan. (Assembly time: 15 minutes)

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven until the crepes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 15 minutes. (Bake time: 15 minutes)

Prepare the Gravy: While the crepes are baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually pour in chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley. (Cook time: 7-8 minutes)

Serve: Remove the crepe packets from the oven and spoon the gravy generously over the top. Serve immediately.
