Chicken crepes are wonderful and the smoked chicken might just do the trick!
Add sauteed mushrooms for the inside 'treatment'; then make and roll the
crepes and do the whisky bernaise sauce (inside and on top). For the ham
crepes, I'd add cheese (of course); a nice light white cheese, perhaps
fontina (melts well, tastes great). Good luck!
