CHICKEN CREPE CASSEROLE





CHICKEN CREPE CASSEROLE
    This is a very tasty casserole – comfort food for sure.  These are good heated up the next day in the microwave oven.  For me two crepes and some sliced tomato was sufficient for my lunch.  I felt satiated by not overly full.  I first got introduced to savory fillings in crepes when I was in my early twenties.
