Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 1 Cucumber, julienned
• 3 Scallions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or a drop of vegetable oil.

Step 3

Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom with a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 crepes.

Step 4

While the batter rests, prepare the chicken. Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, until no longer pink in the center. Pour the hoisin sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is glazed. Remove from heat.

Step 6

To assemble, lay a crepe flat on a plate. Add a portion of the hoisin chicken in the center, followed by julienned carrot, cucumber, scallions, and a sprinkle of cilantro leaves.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the crepe over the filling to create a loose roll. Garnish with a pinch of toasted sesame seeds.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining crepes and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hoisin Chicken Crepes!
