CRAB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I got the idea for this recipe when my husband was told no more "Red" meat for a while by our doctor. I became creative in coming up with different chicken dishes and this one came from a dip I made a few years ago. Try this recipe, you will not be disappointed!

- (Sometimes I add a little parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs for additional flavor) In a nonstick frying pan, heat up the olive oil and fry breast until golden brown.
- Place breasts in an oven safe dish and bake for 30 minutes.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes and DIG IN!
- I usually serve spaghetti noddles tossed with GARLIC!
- and olive oil for a quick side dish.

CRAB-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Purchase the largest and thickest chicken breast you can find to make this recipe. Plan ahead the cream cheese mixture needs to chill for 2 hours before using or up to overnight. I added some Old Bay seasoning to the cream cheese mixture when I made these. This recipe can be cut in half to make 4 breasts. If desired you can sauté/cook the stuffed breasts completely in the frypan and omit the oven. Prep time includes the chilling time.
