CRAB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• To Make White Sauce: Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth, then gradually stir in broth and milk. Bring all to a boil; boil, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon about 1/4 of the crab mixture onto the edge of each chicken breast; roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place chicken rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, then top with remaining white sauce.
• Cover dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika and bake, uncovered, for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove toothpicks and serve.

CHICKEN CRAB CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13 baking dish and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cook the chicken (I use tenderlions and sauté them in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil).
• In 3 quart or larger sauce pan, sauté onion in 2 tbsp butter until tender at a medium heat. Add the chicken, crab, artichokes, parsley, salt and paprika. Stir occasionally until everything is hot.
• Mix in the cheese; I didn't have room in my 3 quart pan to add the cheese, so I layered cheese and the contents of the pan in the baking dish and mixed it up there.
• Put the contents of the pan into the baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
• Melt the remaining 3 tbsp butter and stir it into the bread crumbs so that they are a little moist and stick together. Sprinkle over the baking dish and bake uncovered until bread crumbs are golden (about 10 minutes).

CRABBY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare white gravy mixes according to package directions. Set aside. Fill your Dutch oven with the chicken and add the crab. Add the gravy over the meat in the Dutch. Add the white wine and seasonings. Cover the Dutch, bake with 6-8 briquets under the Dutch and 16-18 on the lid for about an hour. Cook until your crew is starving. It will get raving reviews one way or the other, but as my good friend, outfitter Jerry Myers, once said, "Hungair' es zee best sauce!" Add a thick layer of Swiss cheese, allow to melt and serve.Spiced with More Tall Tales - Fish and Fowl
