How To Make crab stuffed chicken breasts

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Step 5
    Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Step 6
    Spoon about 1/4 of the crab mixture onto the edge of each chicken breast; roll up and secure with toothpicks.
  • Step 7
    Place chicken rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, then top with remaining white sauce.
  • Step 8
    Cover dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
  • Step 9
    Sprinkle with cheese and paprika and bake, uncovered, for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
