How to Make Louisiana Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each breast to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Season both sides of each flattened chicken breast generously with lemon pepper and salt.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 2 cloves minced garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of dry sherry to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup croutons, 1 cup (optional) crab meat, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of dried dill weed. Mix well.
  5. Divide the stuffing evenly among the chicken breasts. Roll up each breast tightly, tucking in the ends and securing with toothpicks.
  6. Dust the rolled chicken breasts lightly with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  7. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, seam-side down.
  8. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon paprika.
  9. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and drizzle it over the chicken breasts.
  10. Pour 1 cup of half-and-half into the bottom of the baking dish.
  11. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Baste frequently with the pan juices.
