  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups crab meat, cooked and shredded

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
