Chicken-Mushroom Crepe Filling

"This recipe is from an old weight watchers cook book and though it has been a few years since I last made I will be doing tomorrow night as it is an easy tea and it can also be frozen to be used later. The original recipe uses 360 grams of cooked chicken but I usually use a small cooked chook bought from the deli. I have also upped the original recipe to feed 6, so I have 2 serves for freezing. I like recipe #35049 for the crepes but would omit the sugar for this recipe."

  1. Does "g" for flour ingredient mean gram?

  1. This was an easy and flavorful dish - it reminded me of chicken pot pie. I used packaged crepes and had some trouble filling them without the crepes falling apart, lol. I poured the leftover sauce over the crepes that made a nice dinner. Thanks I'mPat for sharing. Made for Went To The Market Tag.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
