    This recipe was a hit! My family devoured it. I added a splash of sherry to the crab mixture for extra flavor.

  • Eusebio Auer

    Easy to follow and delicious. I substituted mozzarella for Swiss cheese because that's what I had on hand, and it worked perfectly.

  • Benny Jakubowski

    I was a little hesitant about the saltine crackers, but they added a great texture to the filling. Will definitely make this again!

  • Dagmar Quitzon

    I found that 30 minutes was too long for my oven, the chicken was a little dry. Next time, I'll check it after 25 minutes.
