How to Make No Cream Cheese Crab Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- Place chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) between two sheets of waxed paper and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1/2 cup chopped green or red bell pepper. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat.
- Add 1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat (drained), 1 cup stuffing mix, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter to the skillet. (Adjust seasonings to taste)
- Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of the crabmeat mixture onto each flattened chicken breast.
- Roll up each chicken breast tightly, jelly-roll style, and secure with toothpicks.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Melt remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes.
- Dip each chicken roll in the melted butter, then dredge in the crushed cornflakes, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Place chicken rolls seam-side down in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare bearnaise sauce according to package directions and serve over the chicken rolls.
