Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and carefully butterfly each breast, making sure not to cut all the way through.
-
Divide the seafood stuffing mixture evenly between the two chicken breasts, spreading it over one side of each breast.
-
Carefully fold the other side of each chicken breast over the stuffing, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
-
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the Seafood Stuffed Chicken Breast sliced, garnished with fresh herbs, if desired, and accompanied by your favorite sides.
