Crab Stuffed Chicken (Aka Fancy Chicken) image

I was searching the internet 2 valentines days ago for a romantic, not too foo-fooey recipe and found this (don't remember what site). This is now my BH's version of comfort food, whenever he feels down he asks me to make "that fancy chicken". I like to serve it with garlic mashed potatoes.

Categories     Crab

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat (I actually use more)
1 (2 1/4 ounce) envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets savory herb with garlic soup mix
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs (I prefer seasoned crumbs)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Combine cream cheese, crabmeat, and soup mix, set aside.
  • Cut a 'pocket' into the side of each chicken breast (be sure not to cut all the way through!).
  • Fill each pocket with the cream cheese mixture and close the opening with toothpicks.
  • Dip chicken breasts in flour-> Eggs-> Breadcrumbs.
  • In large skillet, melt oil and butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken to skillet, cook for 10 minutes, or till golden brown, turning once.
  • Transfer chicken to 13x9 pan and bake in a 350°F oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until chicken is done.
