Provided by Fanged Menace

Categories     Crab

Time 2h

Yield 1 9x13 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 (8 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained
1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -3 cups chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 -2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup coarse breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13 baking dish and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the chicken (I use tenderlions and sauté them in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil).
  • In 3 quart or larger sauce pan, sauté onion in 2 tbsp butter until tender at a medium heat. Add the chicken, crab, artichokes, parsley, salt and paprika. Stir occasionally until everything is hot.
  • Mix in the cheese; I didn't have room in my 3 quart pan to add the cheese, so I layered cheese and the contents of the pan in the baking dish and mixed it up there.
  • Put the contents of the pan into the baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 3 tbsp butter and stir it into the bread crumbs so that they are a little moist and stick together. Sprinkle over the baking dish and bake uncovered until bread crumbs are golden (about 10 minutes).
