Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup fresh basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in olive oil for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool before slicing.
- Toss the sliced chicken in basil pesto until well-coated.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add butter. Pour a ladle of crepe batter into the pan, swirl to coat evenly, and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned before flipping.
