This was very good, albeit persnickety. The crepes take a long time to make, but it's worth it. We started out using the 7" skillet and then switched to a square flat skillet because it's too difficult to get the spatula under the crepe without breaking it in the smaller skillet. The flat square worked beautifully. The sauce needed something so I added 1/4 tsp of dried tarragon and that did the trick. Great recipe for leftover chicken, but make sure you plan on spending a bit of time making each of the 15 crepes. Thanks for the keeeper.
