Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Crab meat (cooked)
• 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, making sure not to slice all the way through.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast with an equal portion of the crab mixture, then secure the openings with toothpicks to hold the stuffing in place.

Step 5

Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a second shallow dish. In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Coat each stuffed chicken breast first in flour, then dip into the whisked eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the tops to enhance browning.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove toothpicks before serving and garnish with additional chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
