# Steps:
01 -
Combine the egg, whole milk, water, all-purpose flour, and melted butter in a blender and pulse for 10 seconds. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 48.
02 -
Heat an 8-inch nonstick pan and lightly grease. Pour in 1 ounce of crepe batter, spreading evenly. Cook for 30 seconds, flip, and cook for 10 seconds more. Transfer to a cutting board to cool. Repeat until batter is used.
03 -
Mix shredded chicken, ricotta, almonds, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Add the chicken mixture and stir over low heat.
05 -
Melt butter in a small saucepan over high heat. Add white wine and cook for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-high and add cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer and whisk frequently until sauce reduces by half (about 5 minutes).
06 -
Fill each crepe with ⅓ cup of chicken filling. Roll and place on a serving dish. Remove thyme from the sauce and pour over crepes. Garnish with additional almonds before serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Refrigerating the batter improves crepe consistency. Ensure sauce is whisked continuously for a smooth texture.
