Default Chicken and Peach Crepes with Peach Veloute Sauce

In the Northwest, fall brings a lot of fresh tree fruit to market. My wife's parents live in a part of Washington State that's close to a large peach orchard, and every year a box of fresh peaches arrives at our house waiting for dishes like this one.

The original version of this recipe was published in one of James McNair's eponymous books, Chicken. I removed the flour from the veloute sauce roux, and substituted a lower-carb crepe that Jean forwarded from one of her myriad Internet sources. (Thanks, Jean!) It's still a wee bit high if you pile on the peaches, but if you can manage to keep them to more of a garnish as opposed to a whole side dish you can keep the carbs to a manageable level. Still and all, 12g for two very filling crepes isn't bad.

This year's peaches were so fresh and juicy that we didn't need to add splenda to extract enough juice for the sauce and the filling. Delicious!

OMG, this looks good! I will try it for sure! Must send Nikkil over here, maybe for our next cooking fest! Scott, any idea if this will freeze? I am told the crepes freeze well, so perhaps each thing separately? I'm drooling here!
