1 teaspoon (5ml) Worcestershire sauce for filling

1 tablespoon (15ml) minced parsley for filling

2 tablespoons (30g) butter for béchamel sauce

2 tablespoons (15g) flour for béchamel sauce

2 1/3 cups (555ml) milk for béchamel sauce

1 minced garlic clove for béchamel sauce

Salt and pepper to taste for béchamel sauce

¾ cup Gruyere cheese for garnish and salad

Paprika to taste for garnish and salad

3 tablespoons (45ml) freshly minced parsley for garnish and salad

1 bag salad greens for garnish and salad

1 teaspoon (5ml) Dijon mustard for garnish and salad

1 teaspoon (5ml) white wine vinegar for garnish and salad

6 tablespoons (90ml) grapeseed oil for garnish and salad

Salt and pepper to taste for garnish and salad

1 minced shallot for garnish and salad

Instructions

1-Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and roasting the chicken breasts on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet for 35 to 40 minutes until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred the chicken to get it ready for the filling. For the crepe batter, whisk together the flour and salt, then gradually add the milk, followed by the beaten eggs, melted butter, and fresh dill until it’s smooth and lump-free.

2-Next, cook the crepes in a 12-inch non-stick skillet greased with neutral oil: Pour in the batter, swirl to cover the pan, cook until the edges turn golden, flip, and cook for another 30 seconds before setting them aside. Now, for the filling, melt butter in a pan and sauté the leeks until soft, then add the mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley, cooking until everything blends nicely, and let it cool.

3-Make the béchamel sauce by melting butter, stirring in flour to form a paste, and gradually whisking in milk until it thickens, then add the garlic, salt, and pepper for extra flavor.

4-To assemble, lay a crepe in a shallow gratin dish, spoon on 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture, top with ¼ cup shredded chicken, drizzle 2 tablespoons of béchamel, and roll it up. Add more béchamel on top, sprinkle with Gruyere cheese and paprika, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, followed by broiling for 1 to 2 minutes to brown it perfectly. Serve garnished with minced parsley alongside a salad dressed with Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, grapeseed oil, minced shallot, salt, and pepper.

Notes

🍗 Roast and shred chicken a day ahead for easier assembly.
🥞 Prepare crepes in advance and refrigerate stacked with paper towels and foil.
🍄 Make mushroom and leek filling in advance; prepare béchamel fresh on serving day.
🌿 For vegetarian option, substitute mushrooms with fresh baby spinach added at assembly.
🍽️ Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts for moister meat.
🥘 Use a deep casserole dish if gratin dishes are unavailable.
❄️ Freeze leftover crepes without sauce; thaw overnight and reheat covered to retain moisture.
