This is a great recipe, there is a step or 2 missing, this is why I gave it 4 stars. After adding the flour and cooking, add the chicken broth, milk and wine. The cheese goes on just before you put it in the oven. I would say this is for 3 full breasts cut in half. -
Sorry for this review, but.... As I started to make the recipe, I realized there are a few steps missing from the instructions to make the sauce. After Step 6, I added the milk, white wine and 1/2 the cheese, heated to bubbly, THEN "set aside." Even so, I was very disappointed in the final product. I doubled the crab and it still wasn't as much filling as I would have liked for each chicken breast. The parsely way overpowered everything else. If I made this again, I'd use even more crab and use dried parsley instead of fresh. The sauce was good, though!
