PECAN CRUSTED STUFFED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the red bell peppers in half and seed them.
• Spray the skins with cooking spray and broil them (skin side up) until the skin is dark brown/black and bubbly.
• Remove peppers and put them in a brown paper bag (fold up edges of bag).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• Make sure your chicken breasts are pounded out or slit in half for stuffing.
• Layer the mushrooms, crabmeat, cheese and green onions in the chicken and skewer them closed. (I use wooden skewers - you can also use toothpicks, but remember to take them out! I almost choked someone once!).
• Melt the butter and coat the stuffed chicken breasts in it.
• Roll the chicken breasts in the chopped pecans.
• Cook at 350 for 30 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, peel the skin from the peppers.
• Blend peppers and sour cream until smooth.
• Add salt to taste.
• Serve chicken breasts with red bell pepper sauce as a topping or under chicken for a garnish.
