Chicken and Avocado Crepes

Submitted by Karin...

"This is a delicious and very easy recipe for a dinner or lunch party, served with a crisp green tossed salad and a glass of your favourite white wine! I make this dish during both winter AND summer, and has proved very popular amongst many of our friends! I have not included the time it takes to make the crepes in the Preparation time given, though they don't take VERY long to make."

yum, yum, yuum! i made this last night for dinner, and it was great! i had something like this at an expensive resturant and this was even better! i didnt have romane cheese so parmisean worked well too. i bet a mix of sharp cheese would be delish!

I also made my own crepe recipe.I enjoyed the chicken and avocado,but didn't like the sauce at all!!! Next time I'll make it without the sauce.

Oh wow this was yummy. I made my own crepe batter though. The only thing I would change would be to add some fresh basil or parsley, maybe sage to the sauce. Maybe some grilled mushrooms would be nice in the sauce as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
