3 large eggs
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
Butter or oil for cooking - For the Creamy Chicken Filling
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded cheddar
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp chopped parsley - For Topping & Baking

INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 — MAKE THE CREPES
In a bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt.
Add flour gradually and whisk until smooth (no lumps).
Heat a nonstick pan, lightly oil it.
Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to cover the pan.
Cook 30–40 seconds per side until lightly golden.
Set your crepes aside.
STEP 2 — MAKE THE CREAMY CHICKEN FILLING
Melt butter in a skillet.
Add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds to create a roux.
Slowly pour in milk and chicken broth, stirring until thick.
Add mozzarella + cheddar and stir until creamy.
Add shredded chicken, paprika, pepper, salt, parsley.
Mix until everything is creamy and well coated.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
STEP 3 — ASSEMBLE THE POCKETS
Place a crepe flat.
Add 2–3 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture to the center.
Fold the bottom up, then the sides inward, then the top down — forming a square “pillow pocket.”
Put each one seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
STEP 4 — TOP AND BAKE
Sprinkle lots of mozzarella + cheddar on top of each pocket.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until golden and melty.
Garnish with parsley.
