Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional, as bacon adds salt)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

For the Crepes (or use tortillas):

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Pinch of salt

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Crepes

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly.
  4. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  5. Repeat until all batter is used. Set crepes aside to cool slightly.

(You can skip this step and use flour tortillas if you prefer.)

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, garlic, pepper, paprika, salt, and parsley.
  2. Mix until everything is well blended into a creamy filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Lay one crepe (or tortilla) flat on a board.
  2. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling along one edge.
  3. Roll it up tightly like a cigar.
  4. Place seam side down on a greased baking dish.
  5. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sprinkle the tops of the roll-ups with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  4. Garnish with chopped parsley.
