Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat - drained, flaked and cartilage removed
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1/3 cup crushed saltine crackers

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

Instructions
1
To Prepare White Sauce:
2
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized cooking vessel. Combine the melted butter with flour until it forms a smooth, even mixture, then gradually add broth and milk while stirring continuously. Bring the entire mixture to a boil; maintain the boil, stirring frequently, for approximately 2 minutes.
3
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4
To Cook Crab Stuffed Chicken Breasts:
5
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until it becomes tender, stirring occasionally. Add crab, mushrooms, cracker crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared white sauce to the skillet. Heat through by stirring constantly.
6
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
7
Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
8
Pound the chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Place about 1/4 of the crab mixture onto the edge of each chicken breast, then roll up and secure with toothpicks. Arrange the rolled chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish that has been lightly coated with oil or cooking spray.
9
Top the chicken breasts with the remaining white sauce.
10
Cover the Baking Dish:
11
Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes or until the chicken juices run clear.
12
Sprinkle with cheese and paprika, then bake uncovered for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
13
Remove the toothpicks before serving.
