Cajun Chicken Crepes Recipes

CAJUN CHICKEN CREPES

Steps:

• Begin by heating cooking oil in a large pot until water pops when sprinkled into it.
• Add chopped peppers and crushed red pepper and cook 2-4 minutes until peppers are slightly tender.
• Whisk in flour, adding slowly to insure prevention of lumps. Mixture should be very very thick at this point.
• Slowly add chicken stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, until mixture is about the consistency of gravy, you may have some stock left over (I often use the remainder to replace the water when cooking the rice).
• Add the heavy cream, sour cream, and cheeses and stir until smooth.
• Allow to simmer 15-20 minutes while preparing the rice and crepes.
• Saute the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper.
• Once the rice and crepes are prepared, and the sauce has had time to simmer, season to taste with salt (makes a BIG difference in the level of spiciness of the peppers).
• Serve by laying a bed of rice down the center of a crepe and sprinkling some chicken over the top, then roll up the crepe and drench in the sauce.

CAJUN SHRIMP CREPES

Steps:

• Combine milk, flour, and eggs in a blender. Blend on high speed until well mixed, about 1 minute. Let batter rest for 30 minutes.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lift pan and pour about 3 tablespoons batter into the center; tilt skillet so batter evenly coats bottom. Cook until top appears dry, 45 to 60 seconds. Flip and cook 15 to 20 seconds more. Remove crepe and stack onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter; you will have leftover crepes for another use.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter for filling in a skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion; stir-fry until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant. Add remaining butter, shrimp, and Cajun seasoning.
• Mix cream, flour, and Cajun seasoning together; slowly pour into the shrimp mixture. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and cook until heated through and thickened as desired, 2 to 5 minutes more.
• Spoon some of the shrimp filling into the middle of each crepe and roll crepe around filling, or fold in halves or quarters.

CAJUN CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, mix the oil, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Place the chicken in the dish, and turn to coat with the mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Drain chicken, and discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.
