Recipe Description

These Chicken and Mushroom Crepes with Bechamel Sauce are just another one of my favorite savory filling crepes and the homemade bechamel sauce just makes the dish, elevating the flavors to that of a Master Chef!

Savory crepes with fresh dill in the batter, filled with a buttery chicken, leek and mushroom, Worcestershire sauce and parsley filling, folded and wrapped then drizzled with a garlic bechamel sauce over the top. Garnish with cheese, paprika and fresh parsley and serve with a side salad and vinaigrette.
