Savory chicken crepes may change your breakfast game forever

Crepes are a dish that offers plenty of possibilities. They can be used to create a delicious breakfast, a hearty lunch, or a fancy dessert. Their popularity is definitely due to the fact that you only need a few ingredients to make them, and their preparation is incredibly simple.

Classic crepes are extremely simple to prepare. The basic ingredients are wheat flour, eggs, milk, and carbonated water. It's also worth adding a pinch of salt and mixing everything thoroughly. The frying process is significant as well. First and foremost, the pan must be well-heated. Use just a small amount of fat (e.g., oil or butter) before each crepe.

Fry the crepes on each side until golden, which usually takes 1-2 minutes. Delicious and flexible crepes are a great base for sweet and savory dishes. They need to hold the filling well and not fall apart.

In preparing the filling, nothing should limit us because it's really hard to find a product that doesn't go well with crepes. In summer, when we have a wide selection of fresh fruits, we often use them and combine them, for example, with quark cheese. I ate crepes in this version all summer long. Even recently, during a short vacation in Dębki, I indulged in strawberry crepes. When I returned to Warsaw, my friend invited me over, and, as it turned out, she had prepared... crepes.

When she told me about it, I immediately thought of sweet ones. Surprise! The filling was chicken and vegetables. Interestingly, she had made both the crepes and the filling the previous day. When I visited her, she just baked the whole thing. And although I consider myself a great crepe maker, I was impressed. I already promised my household this dish for a September lunch or dinner. A rocket or lamb's lettuce salad with a light dressing will go great.

Ingredients:

• 1 single chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon potato starch

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a pan. Lightly brown the chicken in it, then transfer to a plate.
3. Pour in the remaining oil and sauté the onion. Add the garlic pressed through a garlic press. Then, add the bell pepper, tomato, and zucchini. Fry until the pepper softens slightly. Then add the chicken and spices. Mix thoroughly.
