This is a take on chicken cordon blu that I created when I realized I didn't have the ingredients. This is a very simple and fast recipe which is what I need as I feed a family of 8 everynight. You can make as much as you need but this recipe is for 6. My kids and hubby really enjoyed it including my 2 year old! Thats a plus.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup crabmeat
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Thaw chicken breast and pound flat between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Do this to all 6 peices.
  • In a medium size bowl soften cream cheese, add crab meat and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
  • Put a layer of Spinach leaves down on the flattened chicken breast and fill the center of the chicken breast with crab meat mixture.
  • Roll chicken breast up like a pinwheel tucking under the ends so all the crabmeat mixture is inside the chicken breast roll.
  • Put in a glass baking dish and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 mins or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
  • Let stand 3 mins before serving to let cheeses settle a bit.
  • I serve this with a mixture of mayo/mustard sauce or you can serve with a preferred dipping sauce of your own if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat for the best flavor. Fresh crab meat has a sweet, delicate flavor that is perfect for crab rangoon. You can find fresh crab meat in the seafood section of most grocery stores.
  • Use wonton wrappers that are not too thick. Thick wonton wrappers will make your crab rangoon tough and chewy. Look for wonton wrappers that are thin and pliable.
  • Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers. If you overfill the wonton wrappers, they will be difficult to fold and seal. Aim to put about 1 tablespoon of filling in each wonton wrapper.
  • Fry the crab rangoon until they are golden brown. Frying the crab rangoon until they are golden brown will ensure that they are crispy and delicious. Be sure to fry them in hot oil so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the crab rangoon with your favorite dipping sauce. Crab rangoon can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or duck sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab rangoon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy wonton wrapper and creamy crab filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty and impressive appetizer, give crab rangoon a try!
