Ingredients

4 chicken breast halves
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package Lipton Recipe Secrets savory herb with garlic soup mix
8 ounces imitation crabmeat
2 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup flour
Italian breadcrumbs

Method
   
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Chop up Crab meat.

Combine crab meat, cream cheese and soup mix together with a hand mixer. Set aside.

Make a pocket in each chicken breast.

This is done by slicing horizontally, but do not cut all the way through.

Stuff each breast with the crab mixture.

Coat each breast in flour, then egg, and finally bread crumbs.

You can add a little parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs for additional flavor (optional)

In a nonstick frying pan, heat up the olive oil and fry breast until golden brown.

Place breasts in an oven safe dish and bake for 30 minutes.

Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

You can serve with spaghetti noddles tossed with garlic and olive oil for a quick side dish.
