🧅 Ingredients

For the filling:

2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
Salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg

For assembly:

8–10 crepes, tortillas, or cooked cabbage leaves
Extra cheese for topping
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the filling:
Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant. Stir in shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in cream cheese, shredded cheese, and parsley. Set aside.
Make the sauce:
In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook for about 1 minute until lightly golden. Gradually pour in milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Add heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, then add the cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble:
Lay out the crepes or tortillas, place a spoonful of chicken filling on each, and roll them up tightly. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish. Pour the creamy cheese sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle with extra cheese.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with a crisp salad or warm garlic bread.
