I love making crepes....sweet or savory. Because I love desserts, I'd say the sweet ones are near and dear to my heart, but these were delicious. After making a 9x13 pan full...after everyone had had their fill...there was one lonely little crepe left. Why do people do that? Leave the last "one" of anything? My family knows that bugs me. Just eat it! Whether it be the last chip, cookie or crepe...just eat the dang thing, already! But...I guess I should have been glad they left one....more for me when everyone's gone and I get hungry!

Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until well mixed. Heat up a crepe pan or small skillet. Pour a scant ¼ cup of mixture into pan and swirl. Let cook until lightly browned. This amount of batter will make about 15 crepes. Can easily be doubled.
Throw everything into the blender and blend away!

Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Lay one crepe in the pan and spoon in about 2/3 cup of the chicken mixture. Fold sides in and lay crepe, seam side down, in pan.
