A snack to tide you over

crab-stuffed chicken breast

Hello Disaffectants,

Some new pieces will be coming soon, but in the meantime, I thought you must be hungry. Here’s what I’m making tonight; it’s a favorite I learned from a friend decades ago. White trash fancy.

Ingredients

4 chicken breast fillets, pounded thin
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
3 scallions diced, greens and whites
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Old Bay seasoning
Hot pepper sauce
2 cans crab meat, well-drained
melted butter

Directions
Pound your fillets thin because you’re going to roll them around the stuffing. In a bowl combine bread crumbs, crab, scallions, mayonnaise, several shakes of Old Bay, and several shakes of hot pepper sauce. Mix well, using just enough mayonnaise to moisten and bind, neither too dry nor “creamy.”

Roll the chicken in melted butter, then roll each fillet around a portion of the stuffing. Place seam-side down in a glass baking dish.

Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until done.

Serve with hollandaise sauce over top and hot pepper sauce for garnishing.
