- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the filling, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Notes
Allowing the crepe batter to rest helps create tender, flexible crepes. Reserve the sauce before adding the chicken to ensure a silky topping for serving.
