Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• ¾ cup milk
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• ⅓ cup dry white wine
• ¼ cup onion, chopped
• 1 cup buttery round crackers, crushed
• 1 (8 ounce) can crabmeat

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

To make sauce: melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth, Cook and stir 5 minutes, then gradually stir in broth, milk and white wine. Cook on low until sauce thickens fully, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Mix together onion, cracker crumbs, crab meat, parsley, and 1/4 cup of the sauce.

Step 3

Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon 1/4 of the crab mixture on the edge of each chicken breast; roll up. Place chicken rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, fold side down, then top with remaining white sauce.

Step 4

Cover dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or until chicken juices run clear, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with cheese and bake, uncovered, until the cheese is lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
