Chicken Or Turkey Crepes With Tarragon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 recipes Basic Crepes
    4 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
    4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 cup milk
    3/4 cup chicken broth
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    1/4 teaspoon chopped dried tarragon
    2 egg yolks
    2 cups diced cooked chicken
    salt to taste
    1/4 cup milk
Preparation
    Prepare a basic crepe recipe in advance. Crepes can be made and frozen up to several weeks ahead of time.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in flour until blended. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in broth, wine, and tarragon; stir over medium-low heat until thickened (about 4 minutes).
    In a small bowl, gradually stir 3 tablespoons of the hot milk and broth sauce into the egg yolks; then pour egg mixture into sauce, whisking briskly. Cook 1 minute more, then remove from heat.
    In a medium bowl, mix together half of the sauce with the chicken. Season with salt to taste.
    Fill each crepe with 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture. Roll crepes, and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Thin the remaining sauce with 1/4 cup milk, and pour over crepes.
    Bake in a preheated oven 20 minutes, or until sauce begins to bubble.
