CRAB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CURRY SAUCE
Boneless chicken breasts are pounded thin and then packed with sweet crab meat stuffing, baked with a creamy curry sauce and finished with a melted cheese topping. I love this rich, elegant dish because I can make it ahead of time and then just easily slip it into the oven 50 minutes before serving.
