For Christmas I asked Hubster to get me a new crêpe pan, he went to the store and asked for a “grapes pan”. Luckily, the sales woman knew what I wanted… Now, with my new crêpe pan on the stove, I can begin to play. I’m not sure of the accuracy of my technique, but the taste and texture was great. When I originally planned this recipe, I wanted to use tarragon. However, I can’t buy any fresh or dried locally. A friend suggested a company that she orders her herbs & spices through, and I’m checking them out. Maybe next time I make these, I’ll have tarragon on my rack.
The idea of crêpes are still a little foreign to Hubster. By using cheddar in the dish, I’ve “Hubsterized” it. I also didn’t measure my ingredients for the Crème Fraîche, Lemon & Dill Sauce, so these are approximations.
Chicken & Asparagus Crêpes with Crème Fraîche, Lemon & Dill Sauce
Chicken & Asparagus Crêpe Ingredients:
4-6 crêpes, 3 chicken breasts, bunch of asparagus, cheddar cheese, extra virgin olive oil
Chicken & Asparagus Crêpe Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat pan over medium heat. Snap off hard ends of asparagus, lightly steam spears. Add EVOO to pan and sauté chicken until no longer pink. Cut chicken into smaller strips. Place crêpes in a glass casserole dish, layer with chicken, asparagus and cheddar. Close crêpe and use toothpick to hold closed, continue with remaining crêpes. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and plate. Drizzle with Crème Fraîche, Lemon & Dill Sauce.
Crème Fraîche, Lemon & Dill Sauce Ingredients:
2 c. crème fraîche, 1/2 c. white wine, 1 Tbs. lemon peel, fresh ground sea salt, 1 Tbs. dill weed
Crème Fraîche, Lemon & Dill Sauce Directions:
Mix together crème fraîche and lemon peel and set aside. Pour wine into chicken pan to deglaze. Add crème fraîche, stirring constantly and continue to heat on low. Remove from heat and stir in dill weed. Drizzle over crêpes immediately after removing them from oven.
Enjoy!

That looks so good! What a coincidence! I made crepes today for breakfast. This post makes me want to have them again for dinner now 🙂 Do you make your own creme friche or purchase it? I don’t recall seeing this in stores.
Thank you I look forward to reading that post. I make my own. This post has a quicker substitute for crème fraîche (which works well when I’m suddenly inspired) and a link on how to make true crème fraîche (for when I have the time and patience to wait).

Awesome! I can’t wait to try this!

Hehe… “a grape pan”… love it!
I have some asparagus I need to do something with… thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
No prob…
Wow! This looks delicious! Not too sure about the sauce though!
Thank you, it’s not too difficult. but you could try hollandaise sauce instead!
Maybe I’ll try that!

Looks delish! I’ve always been afraid to try crepes but this I might can do – with a different sauce though. Might even send my hubby to get a “grapes” pan (lol).
They’re not difficult, but always feared…. Maybe you should send him out for one 🙂
Yummm…I just stumbled across your blog and this delicious recipe. Would you consider posting it on my main dish crepe recipe page?. I know that my visitors would love to see it, and I’d happily give a link back to your blog. Thanks so much!
I checked out the site but wasn’t sure where to attach my blog address!
Hi — I’m sorry that I missed your reply! If you would still like to post your recipe to my main dish crepe recipe page?, just add your blog URL any where in the recipe. Then I’ll add the code to make it a hyperlink back to your site, if that makes sense. Happy Valentine’s Day weekend!
