Crab-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

February 12, 2019 by My Farmhouse Table 4 Comments

Crab-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Valentine’s Day is Thursday and I have never been one to choose a crowded, expensive restaurant. Especially, when I could be enjoying a fancy, homemade meal in my own house, with candles, and more than likely wearing my trusty pair of yoga pants! (Hey some habits are hard to break). While I usually make a delicious grilled steak or this simple pasta dish for a special meal, this year I am turning to these Crab-Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

Crab has a way of making any meal a little more special don’t you think?

This recipe is a special one. Easy enough for any weeknight meal, but also an elegant idea for any dinner party with guests.

I start by slicing a couple chicken breasts open (like a book) and then pounding them flat with a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Seriously one of the best stress relievers there is!

The filling then gets spread across the flattened breasts, before carefully rolling each piece into a tight spiral and securing with toothpicks.

The breasts get seasoned and coated with a light layer of flour and butter, of course, to give the outside a crisp, golden brown appearance.

To serve, I cut a few slices and then spoon over a light drizzle of Hollandaise sauce.

Plate with a Caesar salad, drink a couple glasses of wine, and make sure to save room for the Puppy Chow Lava Cakes for Two!

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Onion, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup Herb-Seasoned Stuffing Mix
  • 1 pkg (8 oz) Imitation Crab Meat
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp Paprika
  • 4 Tbsp Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast in half, but avoid cutting all of the way through. (You should be able to open the chicken breast like you would open a book). Place the breasts in a large resealable bag and pound flat. 

  2. In a pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Saute chopped celery and onion until cooked. 

  3. Once cooked, turn off the heat and stir in broth, stuffing mix, and imitation crab.

  4. Divide stuffing between the two pounded breasts. Carefully roll the breasts in a tight spiral and secure with toothpicks. 

  5. In a shallow dish, combine flour and paprika. 

  6. Gently dip each stuffed breast in melted butter and roll in flour mixture to lightly coat. 

  7. Place chicken breasts in greased baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining melted butter. 

  8. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour at 375 degrees F. 

  9. When cooked, slice and serve topped with Hollandaise sauce.

      Chris, I am by no means a wine expert, but I usually pair it with a nice white wine that my family enjoys.
