Phillips' Chicken Chesapeake

I haven't tried this yet - but it sure sounds good! I have my own board which is primarily about Christianity and Bible prophecy, but there are other things there as well, such as a food forum, and someone posted this recipe there earlier today - she claims it's fabulous:

Chicken Chesapeake: (original Phillips of Ocean City, Maryland recipe THE BEST)

Phillips Chicken Chesapeake

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1/2 lb. Phillips Backfin Crab Meat
1/2 lb. Phillips Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
¼ C. parsley, chopped
¾ C. Ritz crackers, crushed
1 large egg
¾ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
¾ tsp. lemon juice
¾ tsp. seafood seasoning
¾ tsp. Dijon mustard
½ C. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. pimentos, chopped, if desired
Flour seasoned with Phillips Seafood Seasoning
Melted butter

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine the egg, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise in a bowl.
3. Place the crab meat, parsley, and Ritz crackers into a separate bowl. Mix very lightly to combine.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the crab mixture and combine lightly.
5. Carefully use a knife to make a "pocket" in each chicken breast for the crab stuffing. Portion a mound of crab filling in the middle of each pocket and fold over to close.
6. If desired, add stuffed breasts to preheated grill pan to mark exterior before baking.
7. Place stuffed breasts into a casserole dish or deep baking pan. Season to your liking with seasoned flour and pour melted butter over top of each chicken breast.
8. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

That sounds good! Can you tell us or hint the name of your board site? Sounds interesting.

This sounds delightful!

I don't have 'seafood seasonings'. Anyone have suggestions on what would be best to use? I probably have every spice separately...just not sure what would be a good seafood seasoning combo...

many TIA!!

RespectLife - she posted several recipes (I'll re-post more later) and here's what she wrote:

"Maryland is known for its famous Maryland Chicken, Chicken Chesapeake and Maryland Crab Cakes; we also use Old Bay seasonings(and lots of it) on everything. That's a Maryland thing."

I assume that's what she meant, but I'll ask her; if it's something else, I'll let you know.

Raleighroo - just put "The Harpazo Forum" in a search engine - it should be the first thing to come up.

Thanks much, FHG, I have heard of Old Bay Seasonings but I don't have that either...

I just googled how to make it...Holy Cannoli! There is a large list in Old Bay!! LOL I do have everything except mace...but I may just invest in a jar of Old Bay. I eat a lot of seafood and am sure I would use it.

Thanks!

OK, here's what she said:

The recipe calls for Phillips Seafood Seasonings but you can substitute Old Bay. I can't tell the difference really.
