SAVORY CHICKEN IN CREPES
Delicious savory chicken filling for
crepes. So simple, but it makes a nice, light lunch with a salad and your favorite salad dressing. Normally I like my crepes as dessert, but I fondly remember a place called Peter's Pancake House in Cape Town, South Africa, from when I was in my twenties and in love with my husband. We were both going to Cape Town University. Ian was studying Computer Science and I was studying Physiotherapy. Sometimes we would go to Peter's Pancake House and often I would order a savory dish, simply because I had not eaten yet. And, that is where I learned to enjoy crepes with savory fillings. Here is another favorite chicken filling.
