How to stuff crab meat into the chicken breast

Carefully roll up the breast to encase the filling. It can be helpful to use the plastic wrap to assist in the rolling. Fold edges over, if desired. You may also use toothpicks if needed to maintain the crab stuffed chicken breasts' integrity. Roll in cornstarch, coating heavily.

Bring to the boil and reduce heat to a simmer, stirring, until sauce is thickened and smooth. Add the chicken to re-heat and simmer for 5 minutes longer coating the chicken with the sauce.

Enjoyed this recipe veery much, was very surprised at how good it taste, although I did not hot have the green pepper I subws celery and red onion in my sauce and this worked very well, it was easy to make but time consuming and worth every minute , great taste, used jumbo lump crab and a basic crab imperial inside the chicken, very good indeed, just a small amount of Myer lemon and a big pinch of Old Bay for good measure, we loved it!
