Chicken and Asparagus Crepes

- 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, chives or mint)

- 1 shallot, sliced
- 1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish.
- Combine the chicken, ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan, 3 tablespoons herbs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup filling across the lower half of each crepe; roll up to enclose the filling.

- Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallot and cook until it softens, about 1 minute.
- Add the asparagus and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon zest and the remaining 1 tablespoon herbs and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the crepes among plates, top with the asparagus and sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan.
