- To cook the Crepes: Heat a small non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush pan with some oil. Pour approximately ¼ cup batter into centre of pan, swirling pan to coat. Cook for about 1 minute or until bottom is a light golden color. Flip and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

- Remove from heat and divide the chicken mixture into centre of each crepe and fold over. Place in shallow casserole dish.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and drizzle over stuffed crepes. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes (until warmed through).
- Serve with chopped parsley sprinkled on top.
