Ingredients
•
1 cup milk
•
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•
2 eggs
•
1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
•
6 leaves fresh basil leaves, minced
•
1 pinch salt
•
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins, diced
•
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
•
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
•
1 pinch salt
•
1 head broccoli, chopped
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
•
1/2 (8 ounce) package sliced portobello mushrooms
•
3/4 cup heavy cream
•
2 tablespoons semi-soft cheese with garlic and herbs (such as Allouette®)
•
1 tablespoon pesto
Directions
1
Combine milk, flour, and eggs in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
2
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Brush hot pan with a small amount of butter. Ladle about 3 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt pan from left to right to cover entire surface. Sprinkle top of the crepe with 1 or 2 teaspoons of basil.
3
Cook until edges begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip crepe over and cook until set, about 2 minutes more. Remove to a plate. Cook remaining batter, re-brushing pan with butter and stacking crepes with parchment paper in between.
4
Mix chicken, grapeseed oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt together in a resealable zip-top bag; marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
5
Drain and discard marinade. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
6
Place broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Microwave until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
7
Combine butter and garlic in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli; stir to coat with the garlic butter. Stir in tomatoes and mushrooms and heat through.
8
Stir cream, cheese, and pesto together in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sauce comes together, 3 to 5 minutes.
9
Lay a crepe on a plate, line chicken filling down the middle, and drizzle sauce on top. Fold crepe over burrito-style; spoon more chicken and sauce over top. Repeat with remaining crepes, filling, and sauce.
