INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 — MAKE THE CREPES

1. In a bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt.
2. Add flour gradually and whisk until smooth (no lumps).
3. Heat a nonstick pan, lightly oil it.
4. Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to cover the pan.
5. Cook 30–40 seconds per side until lightly golden.
6. Set your crepes aside.

STEP 2 — MAKE THE CREAMY CHICKEN FILLING

1. Melt butter in a skillet.
2. Add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds to create a roux.
4. Slowly pour in milk and chicken broth, stirring until thick.
5. Add mozzarella + cheddar and stir until creamy.

STEP 3 — ASSEMBLE THE POCKETS

1. Place a crepe flat.
2. Add 2–3 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture to the center.
3. Fold the bottom up, then the sides inward, then the top down — forming a square “pillow pocket.”
4. Put each one seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

STEP 4 — TOP AND BAKE
