Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2/3 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup crabmeat
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions:

1. Soften Cream Cheese and Butter: Begin by softening the cream cheese and combining it with 2 tablespoons of butter. This will ensure a smooth and creamy filling for your chicken breasts.

2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it’s ready for baking once your chicken breasts are prepared.

3. Prepare Crab-Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, butter, crabmeat, and half of the soup mix. Mix until well combined, creating a rich and flavorful stuffing for your chicken breasts. Set aside for later use.

4. Slice and Pound Chicken Breasts: Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board and carefully slice horizontally, stopping about 1 inch from the opposite edge. Open the breasts like a book and cover them with waxed paper. Use a meat mallet to pound them thinly and evenly.

5. Spread Crab-Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the prepared crab-cheese mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring every inch is covered with this decadent filling.

6. Roll and Secure Chicken Breasts: Roll up each chicken breast tightly, enclosing the filling, and secure the open edge with wooden toothpicks to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.

7. Prepare Coating Stations: Set up three shallow bowls for coating the chicken breasts. Fill one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with the remaining soup mix combined with the crushed corn flakes. This triple coating will create a crispy and flavorful crust for your chicken.

8. Coat Chicken Breasts: Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, before finally coating it in the corn flake mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.

9. Pan-Fry Chicken Breasts: In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil and remaining butter over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, or until they are golden brown on all sides.

10. Bake Chicken Breasts: Transfer the pan-fried chicken breasts to a greased or sprayed baking dish and place them in the preheated oven. Bake, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.

11. Serve: Once the chicken breasts are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Remove the wooden toothpicks, slice them into serving portions, and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

12. Enjoy: Sit back, relax, and savor every delicious bite of these Crab-Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Whether you’re serving them for a special occasion or a cozy family dinner, this recipe is sure to delight everyone at the table with its irresistible flavors and comforting aroma. 🌟
