Thanks for sharing!

Savory stuffed crepes loaded with chicken and mushrooms are topped with lemon rosemary béchamel sauce and baked to perfection. This is a perfect way to turn leftover chicken into dinner or bring a taste of France to your table.

Stuff crepes with shredded chicken and mushrooms and smother them with a delicious cream sauce for a perfect dinner. The lemon rosemary béchamel will likely become a staple, you’ll want to put it on everything.

This recipe is a perfect make ahead for a dinner party or a fabulous upgrade to a family meal. You can even use leftover chicken breast or rotisserie chicken to make it super easy!

Mushrooms seem to be one of those love or hate foods. The thought of eating a fungus is enough to turn some people’s stomachs, but the taste makes some people always want more!

Our house is firmly in the can’t get enough camp. If you disagree, we’ll take yours.

Don’t let the mushrooms turn you off if you aren’t a fan. These savory crepes would be amazing without them. 

I haven’t tried it yet, but I would imagine spinach would be a delicious substitute. Either squeeze the liquid out of frozen spinach or sauté some of the liquid our of fresh before using it. 

I originally shared this recipe back in 2015, so it seemed overdue to be dusted off and reshared. It has new pictures and a printable recipe card to make things easier for you.

Original Post From 2015

I always look forward to making something to share to fit the theme of mushroom, but it is always SO hard for me to decide what to make.  I love mushrooms, so you would think it would be easy. 

A couple of my favorites are on the site already.  MiMi’s Mushroom Flatbread gets requested frequently, but it has already been posted.

Cori’s Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are the first thing to go when she brings them to a party. People love them so much that they won our appetizer cookoff.

Then it hit me. Crepes!  

Mushroom and chicken crepes are delicious.  They sound fancy, but really aren’t hard to make.

It would be perfect and a little bit different.  So, I went to work making crepes.

 If you aren’t in the mood to make your own, it is possible to get crepes premade. Otherwise you can make them ahead of time to spread out the work.

Just be sure to put layers of parchment or wax paper between them. That will keep them easier to separate and use later.

Once they were done, I was committed.  So, I called MiMi and Pops and invited them over for lunch.  This recipe makes a LOT and we were going to need reinforcements!   

After sautéing the mushrooms in batches, you mix them in with shredded chicken and some lemon rosemary bechamel.  Adjust your salt and pepper and get to rolling. 

See, it makes a lot!  If you’d like you can assemble them to this point on the afternoon of your dinner party. 

Then all you have to do is bake them off when your guests are ready to eat.  It is a perfect dinner party food! 

 Smother them with some more béchamel and pop them into the oven.  They will come out a little crispy on the edges, warm and gooey in the middle.  Delicious if you ask me!

Potential Additions and Alterations

If you want a little cheese with your savory chicken crepe, try putting some gruyere or swiss cheese on top of the bechamel sauce before you bake it. It will give you that satisfactory cheese pull and more depth of flavor.

You can also add some fresh herbs. A bit of fresh thyme or a little more rosemary would be good.

You can add some spinach to the chicken and mushroom filling. It would make a great all in one meal.
