Another wonderful recipe from my friend, Gaye. This take a little prep work, but the end result is restaurant quality that will impress your dinner guests. These are WONDERFUL! I especially like the fact that they can be made ahead of time.I make Crepes Aux Fines Herbes,#225395, to fill with the chicken mixture.

These chicken crepes were a disappointment. The crepes were thick and rubbery, and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
