1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Prepare Crepe Mixture: Combine crepe ingredients and whisk until smooth. Place in a pourable container (like a liquid measuring cup). Let mixture sit for 30 minutes.

Prepare Chicken: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts in a baking pan just large enough to lay flat side by side. Add remaining chicken ingredients. Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutues or until chicken cooked through (170degrees). Cool chicken and shred, return chicken to broth.

Prepare Crepes: While chicken is baking, heat a small non-stick saucepan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Stir crepe mixture and pour some of mixture in pan. Swirl pan to coat, cook until crepe firms up (1-3 minutes), flip and cook for about 1 minute. Remove from pan and set aside. Continue this process until all crepes made. Recipe should make 6-8 depending on size.

Prepare filling: In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 2 minutes. Add milk and broth, whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat until sauce begins to thicken.

Prepare Mushrooms: While sauce is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan. Add onions and mushrooms and saute until softened.

Add mushroom/onion mixture, chicken and wine to sauce. Stir to combine.

Assemble Crepes: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Lay out one crepe, spread chicken mixture across middle of crepe, top with some of spinach and roll/fold up. Place in baking pan. Continue making the rest of crepes the same way. Top with parmesean cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
