Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 cups unsalted butter
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
½ cup diced green bell pepper
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 pound cooked and peeled crawfish tails, coarsely chopped
salt
black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pint heavy whipping cream
12 ounces fresh oyster mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 cups fresh lump crabmeat
1 cup diced green onion

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts until flat. Place in a bowl, immerse in Worcestershire sauce, and refrigerate.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large, cast iron skillet. Saute onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic in butter for 15 minutes over medium heat, until vegetables are tender. Add the crawfish to the pan, and saute for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl, and set aside.
  • Add 1/2 cup butter to the pan, and melt over medium-high heat. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, and brown in the butter on one side only. Keep the chicken in the pan only long enough to brown, do not cook. The butter may begin to burn during this process. If it does, simply pour it out and add more.
  • Place chicken, brown side down, on a flat surface. Spoon stuffing onto breasts, and wrap the breast ends up until they touch. Secure ends with a toothpick. Place stuffed breasts into a baking dish.
  • Pour cream, remaining 1 cup butter, mushrooms, and green onions into a sauce pan, and heat gently for 5 minutes. Pour over chicken breasts. Place crabmeat in mounds on top of chicken. Cover the entire dish with foil.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked.

I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. I'm not a huge fan of crawfish, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the stuffing was flavorful without being too overwhelming.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up simplifying it by using a store-bought crawfish dip instead of making my own stuffing. It still turned out great!

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The chicken was overcooked and the stuffing was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the stuffing was a bit bland. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

This was the first time I've ever made crawfish-stuffed chicken, and it turned out great! I was worried that the crawfish would be too fishy, but it wasn't at all. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the stuffing was delicious.
