How to Make Spicy Jalapeno And Crab Stuffed Chicken
- Flatten each thawed chicken breast to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- 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.
- Gently stir in 1-2 finely chopped jalapeno peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
- Divide the crab mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it across the center of each.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast in aluminum foil.
- 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).
- **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.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir well.
- Carefully unwrap the baked chicken breasts and drizzle generously with the beer sauce.
- Sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning for color and added flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
