"This makes such an elegant looking (and tasting) dish. Allow an hour chilling for the crepe batter, crepes can be made up to 3 days ahead of time, just stack them between wax paper sheets, or white paper towels. Cool, than and place them in an airtight container."

This was wonderful! I used leftover chicken and ham and had some gruyere that I used. Thank you for sharing the recipe! :D

For the work it takes to make the chicken, crepes, sauce, etc., this dish wasn't worth it to me. I found the flavor very ordinary and single-noted, though I did try to make some additions to spice it up. Sorry, but I won't be making this again. Filled crepes should taste a bit more special than this!

WOWEE!!! I am completely taken by this recipe. The only thing I changed was using muenster cheese instead because I had it on hand, and I also do not like swiss all that well. This is a fantastic way to produce an excellent dinner for company, and it really isnt all that hard. Thanks Leezah! WONDERFUL!!!
