Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Crab meat (cooked)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, making sure not to slice all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each chicken breast with an equal portion of the crab mixture, then secure the openings with toothpicks to hold the stuffing in place.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a second shallow dish. In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Coat each stuffed chicken breast first in flour, then dip into the whisked eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Place the breaded chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the tops to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove toothpicks before serving and garnish with additional chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
