Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Protein Component:
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded)
Vegetable Ingredients:
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Prepare a comprehensive mixture by blending whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, and salt thoroughly in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Whisk almond milk, eggs, and melted coconut oil together until achieving a uniformly smooth liquid consistency.
- Gradually integrate wet ingredients into dry components, continuously stirring to eliminate potential lumps. Allow batter to rest and settle for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, lightly coating surface with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Distribute approximately 1/4 cup batter to pan’s center, rapidly tilting to create an ultrathin, even circular layer.
- Monitor crepe for approximately 1-2 minutes until edges transform into a golden-brown tone and surface appears stabilized.
- Delicately release crepe edges using a spatula, carefully inverting to cook opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer completed crepes to a plate, covering with a clean kitchen towel to maintain warmth while preparing remaining batches.
- Combine salad greens, shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
- Dress vegetable and protein mixture with preferred balsamic vinaigrette, ensuring thorough coating.
- Layer each warmed crepe with generous salad filling, elegantly folding or rolling to encase ingredients completely.
- Plate crepes and serve immediately as a nutritious, vibrant lunch option.
Notes
- Customize flour by swapping whole wheat with gluten-free alternatives like almond or rice flour for dietary restrictions.
- Enhance protein content by adding quinoa or extra shredded chicken to boost nutritional value and make the dish more filling.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices in the chicken mixture to create unique flavor profiles, such as adding fresh basil, cilantro, or smoked paprika.
- Allow crepe batter to rest for maximum smoothness, which helps develop better texture and prevents lumpy consistency during cooking.
