How to Make Spicy Jalapeno And Crab Stuffed Chicken

  1. Flatten each thawed chicken breast to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 6 ounces (170g) softened cream cheese, 6 ounces (170g) lump crab meat, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently stir in 1-2 finely chopped jalapeno peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Divide the crab mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it across the center of each.
  5. Roll each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
  6. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast in aluminum foil.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. **For the Beer Sauce:** In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 ounces (57g) cream cheese, 2 ounces (57g) lump crab meat, 2 tablespoons of beer (any light beer works), 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir well.
  10. Carefully unwrap the baked chicken breasts and drizzle generously with the beer sauce.
  11. Sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning for color and added flavor.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
