Recipe Ingredients:

6 skinless boneless chicken breasts

12 ounces backfin crab meat

2 dashes Tabasco sauce

3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated

6 thin slices of smoked ham

1/4 cup onion, chopped

1 teaspoon old bay seasoning

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

6 ounces bread crumbs



Directions:

In a medium bowl mix together well the crab meat, mayonnaise, old bay, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce and onion. Make sure to mix gently to keep the crab meat in lumps. Make a cut lengthwise down the sides of your chicken breasts but not all the way through you just want to make a pocket.

Fill each breast with the crab meat stuffing and then wrap each breast with a slice of smoked ham. Place all of the chicken breasts in a large greased casserole dish or in individual dishes season slightly with pepper and top each breast with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
