The recipe was very easy. But the wine amount was a bit too much for my taste. Over all the recipe was good.

I'm sorry, I didn't read where it says, "simmer for 5 minutes OR UNTIL thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast registers 170°F."

I just assumed you didn't know what you were doing, and I'm such an accomplished chef, that I felt it was my responsibility to correct you because I'm perfect.

Read my other reviews! I am a constant correcter, and in my own twisted mind, I feel it is my job to pick nits everywhere I go.

Without remorse,

A great recipe but a few modifications help tremendously. You must saute the chicken breasts much longer than 3-4 minutes on each side to start out. The chicken breasts are very thick. You will need a bit more olive oil than stated (go with 3 Tablespoons) and I would use at least a 12-inch sauce-pan not a 10-inch. Lastly, the simmmer part at the end says 5 minutes.....no, you must do this longer because the chicken needs much more time to fully cook because of thinkness. I would say I had them simmer (mild boil bubbles) for at least 10 if not 12 to 14 minutes. I could not get the chicken breast to register 170 degrees either but it finally cooked very thoroughly for me using my modified instructions without overcooking the chicken. I would wait closer to the end to put the crab in because it will cook into smaller pieces although that wasn't a problem because it was delicious. (I used 1/2 pound pre-cooked, pasterized lump).
An extremely delicious meal and I served it with toasted bread sprinkled with garlic salt but next time I'm going to try french bread.

The recipe was very easy to follow. The outcome was delicious. I actually added a few pinches of fresh dill along with garlic powder and a few dashes of worchestshire sauce. I loved the meal. My son loved the meal. I am recommending this recipe to family and friends. Delicious!!
