Flip crepe over and cook until second side is nicely browned. Place on plate with towel to keep warm until done cooking all crepes. Place 2 Tbsp. Chicken Supreme/Sauce filling in center of each crepe. Roll up and place in greased casserole dish. Top with reserved sauce. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until sauce bubbles around the edges.
