Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Flour (for breading)
• 3 large Eggs (for breading)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 2 cups of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of salt until smooth to create the crepe batter. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Step 3

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to create a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly golden. Repeat until all batter is used, producing around 8-10 crepes. Set crepes aside.

Step 4

For the filling, dice the chicken breast, onion, and garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

Step 6

Add the diced chicken and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 7

Allow the chicken mixture to cool slightly, then divide it evenly among the crepes. Roll each crepe tightly to form logs.

Step 8

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with 1 cup of flour, one with 3 beaten eggs, and one with 1 cup of breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Dip each stuffed crepe first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.

Step 10

In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded crepes in batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the fried crepes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley, if desired. Pair with a side salad or a dollop of sour cream for a traditional touch.
