Recipe Introduction

This is really good, I usually don't have crackers in my pantry and I think next time I won't even add any in the stuffing.

List of Ingredients

4 tablespoons Butter
1/4 cup all Purpose Flour
1 cup chicken Broth
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
150g crabmeat or crab flavored pollock
1 can mushroom (Pieces and stems)
1/3 cup crackers (Salted; about 10)
2 tablespoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Chicken breasts (Boneless, skinless)
100g swiss cheese (4 slices, or shredded)
1/2 tsp paprika



Recipe

In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in broth and milk. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes, then set aside. In a skillet, sauté onion in remaining butter until tender. Add the crab, mushrooms, cracker crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the white sauce; heat through. Flatten chicken (with a rolling pin) to 1/4 inch thickness. Divide crab mixture into 4 portions, and spoon on each chicken breast. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place in a greased 9-inch square-baking dish. Top with remaining white sauce. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Remove toothpicks. Serve with rice if desired.
Yield: 4 Servings.
