There are a few BMD meals that I really miss. The chicken and mushroom crepes are one of the top ones. If I could order 7 of that meal, I would. I found frozen crepes at Ikea (yes, I know I could make them, but...). So, I looked up chicken mushroom crepes on cookinglight and mashed two recipes together... Original recipes #1 and #2
My Recipe...
6 frozen Ikea crepes, thawed
29oz of raw chicken breast (roasted in oven, trimmed and chopped, 19oz cooked)
8oz mushrooms, chopped (should have used more, like 16oz)
2/3 of a large onion, chopped
1T of butter
2 T cornstarch
2 cups of skim mik
2 oz gruyere cheese
1 oz mozarella cheese
red pepper flakes
salt
pepper
garlic powder
1-2 T of fresh thyme, chopped
1-2 T of parsely, chopped
Saute the mushrooms and onions until mostly soft. In a bowl, mix the chicken, mushrooms, onions, shredded cheese and seasonings. In a small cup mix the cornstarch with a small bit of milk, just enough to moisten. Heat the butter in a small pan, add the slurry and let cook a bit. Add the remaining milk. Cook for a minute or so and cool to thicken. Add the milk mixture to the chicken mixture and gently stir to coat. Serve with a thawed crepe (or make your own!)
By my measurements and calculations, each serving is about 375cal. The chicken mixture is amazingly tasty. Don't skip out on the thyme -- it really makes the meal. Note to self though: Don't use more that 2T... it gets heavy. And easy on the parsley... it's bitter. And I could probably get away with using just half a crepe per serving. AND it could use twice as many mushrooms! With a few tweaks though, this is perfect! And exactly what I was craving. Hopefully it holds me over as long as the BMD version! (Edit on trying: So far, so good... It's been 2 hours and I still feel FULL.)
