Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 x boneless chicken, breasts
- 1 c. fresh or possibly canned crabmeat
- 4 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 c. fresh parsley, minced
- 1/4 c. fresh basil, minced
- 1 x egg, lightly, beaten
- 1 c. cornmeal
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 4 x shallot, minced
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 1 c. cream
- 1 x lemon, zested
- 1/2 c. capers
Directions
- With a sharp knife, make a pocket in the breast.
- In a bowl mix the crabmeat, 2 Tbsp. mustard, parsley, basil. Stuff breast with filling. Dip chicken packets into egg and roll in cornmeal.
- In a skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. butter and gently saute/fry the chicken, turning occasionally. Saute/fry approximately 10 to 15 min till chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add in remaining butter to pan and saute/fry the minced shallots, the remaining mustard and wine. Simmer about 2-3 min. Add in the cream and simmer for another minute. Don't boil. Add lemon zest and capers.
- Transfer chicken to the pan and simmer 2-3 min more. To serve, ladle sauce over the chicken.
- Tip: If you do not want to create the pocket in the chicken, you can center the filling on a chicken breast which has been pounded flat and roll up and cook the same way as above.
