Lost Recipe

I am looking for a chicken crepe recipe from the 1978 Betty Crocker cookbook.  It was probably page 88,89,90,91???


Probably took it out to copy and share and can't find it.


Thanks.

Hi, I believe this is what you're looking for. 




CHICKEN CREPES


Crepes (below)


3 tablespoons margarine or butter


3 tablespoons flour


½ teaspoon salt


2 cups turkey or chicken broth


1½ cups finely cut-up cooked chicken or turkey


½ cup chopped apple


1 medium stalk celery, chopped (about ½ cup)


2 tablespoons chopped onion


 


Prepare Crepes; keep covered to prevent them from drying out. Heat margarine over low heat until melted. Blend in flour and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.


 


Mix chicken, apple, celery, onion and 3/4 cup of the thickened broth. Place scant 1/4 cup chicken mixture on center of each crepe; roll up. Place crepes seam sides down in ungreased oblong baking dish, 13 ‘/2x9x2 inches. Pour remaining broth over crepes. Cook uncovered in 350° oven until crepes are hot, about 20 minutes. 6 servings.


 


CREPES


1 cup all-purpose flour*


1/4 teaspoon baking powder


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 1/4 cups milk


1 egg


1 tablespoon margarine or butter, melted


 


Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in remain­ing ingredients. Beat with hand beater until smooth.


 


Lightly butter 7- or 8-inch skillet; heat over medium heat until bubbly. For each crepe, pour scant 1/4 cup of the batter into skillet; immediately rotate skillet until thin film of batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown. Run wide spatula around edge to loosen; turn and cook other side until light brown. Stack crepes, placing waxed paper or paper towel between each. (To freeze crepes, see page 307.)


 


*lf using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.

OMG..THANKYOU SO MUCH. i have been looking for this recipe forever,, I recieved a cookbook at my wedding shower,When i was first married and 19 years old.  My husband and family loved this recipe, which we used turkey instead of chicken in, especially at thanksgiving time with the left overs. my husband has since passed away.  My new husband, (boyfriend at the time) bought a new cookbook when he was living on his own.  saw the state of my cookbook.  ( which by this time was pretty old, with no cover and WELL used. thought he was being nice, THREW away, my cookbook one day and brought me his.. i was so upset, this ccokbook was well used for a reason.  same name, different year, different recipes,, i am so excited, cant wait to make this

This is a great recipe. I have no idea why it was never included in the newer versions of BC. I bought a new book back 10 years ago and had thrown out my old copy because it was falling apart. I am so happy to have found this recipe again. Lesson learned, write down your favorite recipes in your own book for future reference.

Wow, so glad to have found this recipe.  A stupid boyfriend threw the cookbook with this favorite in years ago.  Big blessings to you.

I am so excited to find this! I was looking for it online and couldnt find it anywhere! I used this recipe at my Aunt's house, from her cookbook, and my family loved it. She still has the cookbook, but I was looking for it online before I called her up for it. I am sooooooooooooooo happy! Thank you for posting it, and thank you for looking online to find it through this post!
