Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in breadcrumbs, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat again with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer them to a baking dish.

  3. 3

    Add Crabmeat and Cheese

    Top each chicken breast with an equal portion of jumbo lump crabmeat. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses on top of the crabmeat.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Make Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the chicken before serving. Enjoy!
