Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups 2% milk
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 tablespoons sherry or chicken broth
2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided

Additional sour cream, optional

Directions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms and onion; saute until tender. Sprinkle with flour; stir until blended. Gradually add milk. Stir in the bouillon, Italian seasoning and pepper.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in sour cream and sherry. Remove 1 cup sauce; set aside. Stir chicken and 1 tablespoon parsley into remaining mixture; heat through.

Spread 3 tablespoons filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. Drizzle reserved sauce over the top. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Serve with additional sour cream if desired. Yield: 5 servings.

These are very very good!!

BASIC CREPES
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 teaspoons butter

Directions
In a small bowl, whisk milk and eggs. Combine the flour, sugar and salt; add to milk mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Melt 1 teaspoon butter in an 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between. Yield: 16 crepes

I did not realize I was supposed to refrigerate my crepe batter until I had the filling made and it was 6:00. I went ahead and made them right away and Justin and I both thought they were fine.

We had a ton of crepes left over so I got a can of cherry pie filling out of the cupboard and we had dessert as well!!
