Healthy Springtime Crepes

Try something different! Crêpes are especially popular throughout France. The common ingredients include flour, eggs, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt.

Yield: Serves 4
Total Time: 35 min Prep: 20 min Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, chives or mint) Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 8 store-bought crepes (about 9 inches each) 1 shallot, sliced 1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish.  Combine the chicken, ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan, 3 tablespoons herbs, 3/4  teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Spoon about 1/4  cup filling across the lower half of each crepe; roll up to enclose the  filling. Place the crepes, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Cover  with foil and bake until the filling is hot, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high  heat. Add the shallot and cook until it softens, about 1 minute. Add the  asparagus and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken  broth, lemon zest and the remaining 1 tablespoon herbs and simmer until  the sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining  1/4 cup parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the crepes among plates, top with the asparagus and sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan.
