CRABBY CHICKEN

I was brainstorming for yet another original way to use B&S Chicken breasts. Finally came up with this wild idea, Crab meat stuffing. The fact I had this small can of crab meat that needed using kinda contributed to the idea. I plotted for a while, came up with some interesting ideas but at the last moment decided to check the Zaar files. Ran the search engine 3 different ways to be sure and SONOFAGUN,, there was one. Crab Stuffed Chicken (aka Fancy Chicken) #37037 by MackinacBride. So I used it as a base and MUST credit it though I changed nearly everything. It was REALLY great. Give eather a try you'll likely love it.

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large b&s chicken breasts
3 ounces softened cream cheese
4 ounces crabmeat, about half a can.
1 teaspoon minced chives (I used dehydrated)
1/8 teaspoon zatarains liquid crab boil concentrate, this stuff is realy powerful,watch it.
1/8 teaspoon onion powder, i used toasted.
toothpick, to close.
2 tablespoons butter, there is a taste difference,so use it.
1 beaten egg
2 -3 tablespoons flour, to dust.
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, to coat.

Steps:

  • Start preheating the oven to 350°F.
  • Let the cream cheese soften and mix in the Crab boil, Chives, Dehydrated onion, Check for Salt& Pepper.
  • Fold in the Crab Meat.
  • Carefully make a pocket in the Chicken breasts and stuff with the cheese- crab mix.
  • Seal the edge with toothpicks.
  • Heat the Butter in an oven safe skillet, medium heat, to the Brown Butter stage.
  • Dust the breasts with Flour.
  • Dip in the Egg.
  • Coat them well with the Panko or Crumbs.
  • Saute until lightly browned, around 5 min side one, turn and about4 min side 2.
  • Pour out any excess butter, it's done its job.
  • Jog to make sure the breasts are free in the skillet.
  • Finish in the oven around 14 minute.
  • The skillet is already hot so it speeds the process.
  • Remove the toothpicks and prepare for a treat.
  • Again I thank MackinacBride for the framework.

CRABBY CHICKEN

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 to 3 pounds chicken breasts skinned (can use chukars, too)
1 package imitation crab meat
2 packages white gravy mix
1 cup white wine
salt, pepper and garlic to taste
1 pound sliced Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare white gravy mixes according to package directions. Set aside. Fill your Dutch oven with the chicken and add the crab. Add the gravy over the meat in the Dutch. Add the white wine and seasonings. Cover the Dutch, bake with 6-8 briquets under the Dutch and 16-18 on the lid for about an hour. Cook until your crew is starving. It will get raving reviews one way or the other, but as my good friend, outfitter Jerry Myers, once said, "Hungair' es zee best sauce!" Add a thick layer of Swiss cheese, allow to melt and serve.Spiced with More Tall Tales - Fish and Fowl

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
  • For a crispy crust, make sure to coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture before searing them in the butter.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken breasts. Otherwise, they will steam instead of sear.
  • To make the crab filling, be sure to use fresh crab meat. Imitation crab meat can be used in a pinch, but it will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • If you are using a food processor to make the crab filling, be careful not to overprocess it. You want the filling to be chunky, not pureed.
  • To assemble the chicken breasts, place a spoonful of the crab filling in the center of each breast. Then, fold the chicken breasts in half and secure them with a toothpick.
  • When baking the chicken breasts, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. If the oven is not hot enough, the chicken will not cook properly.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Crabby chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken breasts are juicy and flavorful, while the crab filling is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

Note: This recipe can also be made with shrimp or lobster instead of crab.
