-- Chicken Cheddar Crepes With Mushrooms --

Submitted by MissTiff16

"A HUGE Family Favorite!! Cheesy -- Garlicky -- Mushrooms and Chicken! YUM YUM :O) I made this up one day and have been touching it up over the years... I think we've got it! Sometimes I use the Wild Bunch, prepackaged, from our local store with Baby Bella, Shitake and Oyster Mushrooms. The mixture of mushrooms gives this an excellent flavor. But this recipe tastes good with any mushroom. If you're a big garlic fan you could add one extra clove after adding broth in step 5. Please try! I'd love to hear what you think! This recipe does not include time for making crepes. I used the recipe from the Crepe Forum and they turned out fantastic!"

We liked this and yes it made it very easy using frozen crepes (I had an eight pack which more than served 4 of us with sides). I used a mix of swiss brown mushrooms and white button mushrooms and 1 lb of chicken breast (which to my shame I overcooked) but the biggy was way too much cheese - I ended up using 5oz and would cut this back to 4oz (a Mainland sharp cheddar) and I added a good grind of pepper to mushroom, chicken and cheese mix. Yes one we will consider again but with change to suit us more, thank you Swede16tc, made for Bargain Basement.
