Preparation
Step 1
For sauce, in a skillet, saute the onion, mushrooms and celery in butter until tender. Stir in flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt until blended. Gradually add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness; sprinkle with pepper and remaining salt. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, crab, spinach and parsley, stir in 1/2 cup sauce. Spoon 1/4 cup down the center of each chicken breast half. Roll up; secure with toothpicks. Place seam side down in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Top with remaining sauce.
Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until juices run clear. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Discard the toothpicks. Serve with rice.
