    Savory Chicken Crepes recipe with bechamel sauce. For a long long time, I had been playing with this recipe through testing. This dish was born when French chicken crepe wedded bechamel sauce. I usually make these on lazy Sundays when you wish to spend less time in the kitchen and yet have yummy weekend style food.

    Savory Chicken Crepes with bechemel sauce.

    And, on those days, I cook in the evening and can’t take photos in daylight. But this time, I managed to take photos, although a shabby photo to make a cover for this post.

    Nevertheless, the dish is delicious --- full of flavors. The crepes are like crepes —- soft and yummy. (I can have it on their own or better with a sauce.) Filling has spices, herb and few green veggies to add more bite to the dish. We all love it!!!

    Tips to make Savory Chicken Crepes

    • You can make crepes batter 24 hours ahead.
    • You can also make chicken and white sauce a day ahead. So if you’re planning this as a side with a high protein main-course, you can make these prep a day ahead and assemble the dish a little before the guest will arrive.
    • If you make this dish ahead, you can also reheat in oven or microwave before serving.
    • Finally, I used the oven only to melt and broil my cheese. So, if you don’t have oven just melt cheese by heating in a microwave oven.

    Variation for a savory chicken crepes with bechamel Sauce

    • I prefer all green veggies for this dish but you may add mushroom, corns, olives, jalapeno, broccoli to your white sauce. Of course, you need to reduce other veggies and add your favorite once.
    • Cheese is added only on the top but if want a really cheesy crepe, add cream cheese in filling as well.
    • You can use any leftover chicken like a rotisserie or spicy chicken tikka or tandoori as well.
    • Mince fillings with also be a great option with savory crepe.
