Meet Laura Davis of http://tideandthyme.com You’ll find this dish is on many restaurant menus in our area. Usually a chicken breast stuffed with crab dip or crab imperial, then baked. It was a recipe that I’ve wanted to try my hand at making at home. However, I hate leaving things at the status quo - so I added bacon and cheddar cheese, as well as using some seafood seasoning to add some flavor to the chicken breasts. Since the chicken is stuffed, you don’t need a ton of crab meat. A small amount goes a long way in this dish. Fresh-picked blue crab meat is readily available from many of our local fishmongers here on Chincoteague. But, if you happened to have some leftover crab dip or crab imperial, you could certainly substitute that in place of the crab filling listed in the recipe. It’s absolutely delicious, relatively easy & quick to throw together, and impressive…always a winning combination in my book! We’re looking forward to another beautiful season here on Chincoteague Island. Remember to take advantage of our abundance of fresh and local seafood while you’re here (visit my website for more recipe ideas), and enjoy your stay!
