1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/8 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
dash of hot sauce
3/8 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 chicken breasts skinless, boneless
1/4 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 can cream of shrimp soup undiluted
1/2 can shrimp well rinsed

Steps:

  • Saute celery and green onions in 1/4 cup margarine until tender. Add mayonnaise, broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce and stir well. Add rinsed shrimp, bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper, stir well, and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 F and grease pan. Place chicken breasts between wax paper and flatten with rolling pin to about 1/4 inches thick. Place stuffing mixture in the middle of a breast. Fold long sides over the mixture then fold the ends over. Secure with toothpicks. Roll in flour and dip into 1/4 cup melted margarine. Place chicken in pan and spoon undiluted soup evenly over the mixture. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the cooking liquid every 10-15 minutes.
  • If you don't have any white wine on hand, you can substitute it with chicken broth or water.
  • To make the shrimp stuffing ahead of time, simply cook the shrimp and chop it, then mix it with the other ingredients. Store the stuffing in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To make the cooking process easier, you can use a baking dish with a lid. This will help to keep the chicken moist and juicy.
