Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup chicken broth
¾ cup milk
⅓ cup dry white wine
¼ cup onion, chopped
1 cup buttery round crackers, crushed
1 (8 ounce) can crabmeat
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • To make sauce: melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth, Cook and stir 5 minutes, then gradually stir in broth, milk and white wine. Cook on low until sauce thickens fully, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon 1/4 of the crab mixture on the edge of each chicken breast; roll up. Place chicken rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, fold side down, then top with remaining white sauce.
