Recipe - Le Cafe De Paris Chicken Crepes

CHICKEN VELOUTE (SAUCE
6 tablespoon Butter
6 tablespoon Allpurpose flour
1 cup Whole milk
1 One half cup Chicken broth
1/3 cup Dry sherry
1/3 cup Heavy cream
Salt,white pepper to taste

CHICKEN FILLING
8 ounce Fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoon Butter
3 cup Chicken cooked and cubed
1 cup Chicken veloute

TO FINISH
Three fourths cup Provolone, shredded 4oz.
Three fourths cup Swiss cheese, shredded 4oz.
One fourth cup Parmesan, grated 1.5 oz.
One fourth teaspoon Paprika
4 cup Broccoli florets, steamed
2 cup Chicken veloute
12 Crepes plain not sweet

To make the Chicken Veloute: Melt the butter in a medium size saucepan over
medium heat. Stir in flour, bring to bubbling and let bubble a couple of
minutes to get rid of the floury taste. Add the milk and chicken broth;
cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the sherry and heavy
cream; season to taste.

To make the filling: Cut the mushrooms into 1/4inch slices. In a heavy
skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute
about 2 minutes or just until limp. Remove from the heat and transfer to a
large bown and cool to room temp. combine the mushrooms with the cubed
cooked chicken and one cup chicken veloute.

To finish: Toss together the cheeses and paprika in a bowl; set aside.
Spread about 1/4c filling over the unbrowned side of each of 12 crepes.
Divide the broccoli over the chicken filling and roll up the crepes. The
crepes can now be placed, seam side down in one large lightly greased
gratin dish. Cover with 2 cups chicken veloute and sprinkle with the cheese
mixture.

Or, serve the crepes in individual gratin dishes 2 per serving and
divide the sauce and cheese mixture among them. Can be prepared to this
point, covered lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Remove from
fridge at least 30 minutes before baking.

To finish the crepes, bake in a preheated 375F oven for 1012 minutes or
until bubbly and beginning to brown. Makes 6 servings of 2 crepes each.
