Ingredients

• 8 pieces Eggs
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Marinara sauce, no sugar added
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to form the batter for the crepes.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Pour a ladleful of the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl it around to cover the bottom evenly, creating a thin crepe.

Step 4

Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is set. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter. You should have about 8 crepes.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each crepe, rolling it up from one end to the other to enclose the filling.

Step 7

Spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the manicotti seam-side down over the sauce.

Step 8

Top the manicotti with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
