These savory, lightly battered rolled crepes are a great way to use up left-over chicken, ham or other meat in the fridge.

We’re so blessed that the kids are able to spend the summers at the cottage with baka and djeda. They get completely spoiled of course. This includes waking up to homemade palacinke (or crepes) each morning!

There are sometimes a few crepes left over after they’re done. They make the perfect foundation for some delicious crepe rolls.

Although you can use sliced deli chicken, ham or turkey, our favourite is using leftover chicken from the previous night’s dinner.

There’s really no right or wrong with these crepe rolls. We like to use mozarella cheese for the stuffing, but you could use anything you have on hand, such as cheddar or Swiss.

What to Serve with the Chicken Crepes

  • steamed cauliflower with breadcrumbs
  • sliced tomato salad
  • cooked Swiss chard

How to Make Crepes

We have a whole post with our favourite crepe batter recipe. But here a quick overview of the crepe baking process.

The key is to have the batter be a think consistency. Pour a ladelful onto a hot skillet and immediately roll the skillet around to spread out the batter. Let bake for a minute and then flip over when the edges start lifting from the pan.

Once you make crepes a few times, you’ll be an expert in no time! We love to enjoy them as both a sweet treat with homemade jam (such as our mulberry jam) or savory as in our cottage cheese casserole.
