When I organized food and nutrition training for our county 4-H’ers, we had cooking demonstrations representing different countries. We chose crepes for France, and everyone really loved these chicken broccoli crepes. —Deanna Naivar, Temple, Texas

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

FILLING:

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

2 cups sour cream

2 packages (8 ounces each) frozen broccoli spears, cooked and drained

2-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken

Instructions

1 In a small bowl, beat the milk, eggs and butter. Combine flour and salt; add to egg mixture and beat until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2 Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet. Stir batter; pour 1/4 cup into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.

3 In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in 2 cups of cheese. Cook and stir for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream until smooth.

4 Place four broccoli spears and 1/3 cup of chicken down the center of each crepe; top with 1/3 cup cheese sauce. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Pour remaining cheese sauce over crepes; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

5 Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes or until heated through.
