I made this recipe for my parents' 50th anniversary party. The recipe was good - a little too fishy for me (and I love crab), but everyone else raved about it. I made the crab stuffing the night before - used chive cream cheese, flattened the chicken breast and sliced each breast so there was a pocket. I soaked the chicken in buttermilk the night before to help retain moistness. The next day I dipped chicken in flour, egg and then panko bread crumbs (which hold up better). I then browned each chicken breast in butter until a light golden brown, placed on paper towel until cool. I then stuffed each chicken breast with the crab mixture, placed in a baking dish and in the oven at 350 for 35 mins. I would recommend leaving in a little longer to ensure that the chicken is done. It does need some kind of sauce on top - just not sure what....definitely not anything rich. I tried to make the blender hollandaise sauce from this site - but it came out horrible - i don't like serving anything with raw eggs in it. If i make this chicken recipe again I will lighten up on the amount stuffing I used (I think I overstuffed and the fishy taste took over) and find a sauce that is not too heavy. Overall the recipe was good - just needs some tweaking. This could easily be made completely the night before or days before - just freeze and then thaw and reheat! I'm all for making things ahead of time and then freezing.....especially when you are having a big party and
