Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 8 ounces Lump crab meat
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being sure not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, fresh parsley, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the stuffing.

Step 4

Spoon the crab stuffing into the pockets of each chicken breast, dividing it evenly among all four pieces. Secure the edges with toothpicks if needed to keep the filling from spilling out.

Step 5

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 7

Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Be careful when flipping to prevent stuffing from escaping.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite low-carb side dish.
