How to Make Crab Stuffed Crumbed Chicken
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently fold in 1 cup cooked crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation).
- Refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to firm.
- Cut a slit lengthwise into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the breast like a book.
- Spoon half of the crab mixture into each chicken breast, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently press the edges of the chicken breast together to seal the filling inside.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Season generously.
- In another shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg, allowing excess to drip off.
- Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in breadcrumbs, gently pressing to adhere.
- Refrigerate the breaded chicken for 30 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a shallow baking dish.
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, serving side down. Brush with additional oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
