Ingredients

4 servings

2 (8 ounce) jars tuna packed in oil, drained 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs 1 large egg, beaten ¼ cup olive oil 1 (8 ounce) can pasta sauce

Crepes Loaded with Chicken

Instructions

Step 1

Start by mixing the tuna, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and egg together in a medium bowl until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into about seven patties. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the patties for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they’re lightly browned. While the patties are cooking, warm up your pasta sauce in a separate pan until it’s gently simmering. Once the patties are browned, add them to the sauce, cover, and let everything simmer together for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld. Serve warm and enjoy!
