Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Neufchatel and Crabmeat 1 Recipe

  • 3 ounces Neufchatel cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 4 ounces fresh Dungeness crabmeat
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices EARTH GRAINS® Buttermilk bread
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  1. In a medium bowl combine the Neufchatel cheese, onion, parsley, dill, garlic and lemon pepper. Add crabmeat and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a food processor, process bread to create small crumbs.
  3. Using a small sharp knife, cut in half horizontally through the center of each chicken breast half, creating a pocket. Fill each pocket with 1/4 of the crab mixture. Then dip each chicken piece into flour, eggs, and finally bread crumbs to coat. Cover completely. Arrange in prepared baking pan.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and breading is golden brown.
