chicken POT PIE IN CREPES

So beautiful! Homey-old-fashioned gets updated and elegant in this dish.

I’ve taken my family-favorite casserole and removed the carby crust – kept the gorgeous filling and simply rolled it in my higher-protein-lower-carb crepes.

You can’t go wrong with this. Even if you didn’t tackle the crepe making and just ate the filling – it’s still great!

Crepes:

4 eggs

1/2 cup ricotta

4 tablespoons flour

Pinch of salt

3 tablespoons milk

.

In a medium bowl beat the Ricotta with the eggs. Beat in the flour, salt, and milk. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.

Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Coat with vegetable cooking spray when hot. Pour in 2 tablespoons of batter and swirl the pan to coat the entire surface in a thin layer. Allow to cook, without turning, until completely done. The top should be no longer shiny and when you touch it it’s not wet. The bottom will be have a very slight golden color. If it’s too dark, lower the heat.

(These can be impossible to flip and they don’t need to be, so don’t try if you don’t want to. I do sometimes to get the same color on each side, but they are done when it’s dry on the top.) Gently loosen the edges with a spatula and slide out of the pan onto a plate. Very lightly spray the top with vegetable spray – this way you can stack them on top of each other.

Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray before each crepe. Proceed with above directions until batter is gone. Allow the crepes to cool to room temperature and then wrap the plate tightly with plastic wrap. These keep well in the fridge – unfilled – for several days.

Filling:

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup diced onion

1/2 cup finely diced, or shredded carrots

3 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sage

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon Splenda/sugar (brings out the flavors, yes it does!)

Dash grated fresh nutmeg

3/4 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup ff half & half

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

2 cups diced or shredded, cooked chicken

.
