chicken crepes:
1 pk boneless chicken (i'm lazy, it's better if you are willing to bone the chicken)
onion, salt, pepper, other seasonings to taste
5-6 potatoes like you would use to make mashed potatoes
butter (or margarine, 1-2 sticks)
1-2 cans creme of chicken soup
mushrooms if you like them
bisquick or comparable baking mix
oil
eggs
milk.

boil chicken and seasonings in enough water until tender
lift chicken out of pan, and place peeled, diced potatoes in chicken stock. let cook while you prepare the crepes. (i cook it on med-low for this)

to make the crepes, follow the crepe recipe from bisquick. i'll look it up and post it later. it is basically a very runny pancake batter. using a nonstick pan (i use a 12-14" t-fal pan), pour 1/4-1/3 c batter in pan, swirl around pan to thin out. turn when edges start to curl. heat other side, put on plate and make the next one. this is the most labor intensive part of the meal.

when crepes are all done, dice chicken back into the potatoes, and add the mushrooms if you like mushrooms. drain the potato mix, reserving the liquid.

put the creme of chicken soup in a pan to heat, adding 1/2-1 can of the liquid from the potatoes to the soup. stir until smooth.

1/2-1 stick of butter to the potato mixture, and mash the potatoes with a hand masher or the back of a large spoon. you want the mix pasty and lumpy (the chicken and mushrooms will ensure that). add reserved liquid as necessary to get a good lumpy mashed potato consistency.

place a large tablespoon or two of potato mix in a line on a crepe. roll up. place 2-3 crepes on a plate, ladle sauce over them, serve.

we usually have corn with ours, but any veggie works.

enjoy.

I would like some of these now. Right now!. I have no chicken boned or otherwise.

i should have added, the filling freezes really well, and can be used in frozen pancakes
