Recipe Instructions:
-
Crepes: In a mixing bowl, combine beer, flour, brown sugar, and egg. Stir until well blended, then let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
-
Cook Crepes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until the edges start to pull away from the pan. Using a thin wide flipper, gently turn the crepe over and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Repeat until you have 6 dinner-size crepes.
-
Assembly: Prepare the hollandaise sauce according to package directions.
-
Filling: Spread a portion of cream cheese just off-center on each crepe. Place 1/4 cup of cooked chicken on top of the cream cheese, then pour 2 tablespoons of hollandaise sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
-
Roll Up: Carefully roll up each crepe, enclosing the filling.
-
Bake: Arrange the filled crepes side by side in a greased casserole dish. Pour the remaining hollandaise sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with curry powder. Cover the casserole dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes.
-
Broil: Uncover the casserole dish and broil the crepes until they are browned in spots.
-
Serve: These Curried Chicken Crepes are perfect for brunch or as a light dinner. Pair them with a tossed green salad for a refreshing meal.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in curry spices before cooking.
- Ensure the crepe batter is well-rested for a smoother texture.
- Customize the filling with your favorite ingredients like sautéed vegetables or different cheeses.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
