Oh, my goodness.... If I EVER want to impress someone, this is how I do it! It's my specialty recipe and can easily be tailored with the stuffing. The red bell pepper sauce is a MUST! I have made this for friends and family, and they just rave about it!

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 red bell peppers
2 lbs chicken breasts, pounded
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced thinly
1/2 lb lump crabmeat
1/4 lb gruyere, thinly sliced
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup butter
1/2 lb pecans, chopped
8 ounces sour cream

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.
