Filling
8 oz Lump crab meat
1 block softened cream cheese
1 tbsp chives
1 half finely diced shallots
4 cloves minced garlic
6 oz Shredded gouda cheese
Quarter cup grated parmesan
SPG or your preferred dry rub
Brine for chicken Breasts
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup kosher salt
1 lemon
Scallions
Thyme
Peppercorns
8 garlic cloves
4 cups water
Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Use cold water or ice to cool brine, or allow it to come to room temperature. Submerge chicken in brine for at least 4 hours. After the brine, drain off brine solution and rinse meat with cold water to remove the excess salt from the brine.
8 medium sized whole chicken breasts brined
Blackening seasoning
In a bowl, combine all the filling ingredients together and mix with a spatula or hand until well incorporated. Set aside. Using a filet or boning knife, cut a pocket along the side of the chicken breast. Big enough to stuff the filling. When your breast meat is stuffed with your cheesy crab filling, season them with the blackening seasoning. Do not season too heavily as you have already influenced the flavor with the brine. In a 375 degree oven, Bake the chicken breasts until about 165 degrees internal temperature. After about 45 minutes my dish was done. We served this over some sautéed green beans.
