    A little history about this recipe:

    **This post is being updated from the original publication in 2014. The recipe has remained completely unchanged from the original post with only the photos being updated. This article now also includes a video presentation along with a printable recipe card including nutritional information.

     
    This is what I wrote about Chicken Oscar in 2014:

    My take on Chicken Oscar (Kudos Kitchen Style) was inspired by a local trip that my husband and I recently took with some friends to go zip lining in beautiful Ottawa, Illinois, which is a couple of hours Southwest of where we live.

    If you're wondering how in the world this recipe could have possibly been inspired by a zip lining adventure, that's a good question. It wasn't actually the zip lining that inspired it, but our celebratory "We did it!" dinner afterward at Hank's Farm Restaurant in Ottawa, Illinois that inspired it.

    I knew after my plate had arrived, and I'd taken my first bite, that this would be a recipe I wanted to recreate in my own kitchen. Here's the picture of Hank's Chicken Oscar that I took on my phone that night at dinner.

    The instructions for making Chicken Oscar:

    • Whisk together the white wine and Dijon Mustard.
    • Pour it over the chicken breasts and allow them to marinate at least 20 minutes.

    • Meanwhile, stir together the crabmeat, mayonnaise, white wine, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper. 
    • Set aside the crabmeat mixture.
    • In a shallow dish, combine the panko, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
    • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade (discard the marinade) and coat the chicken in the prepared breading on both sides.
    • Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in a skillet over medium/high heat in melted butter (approximately 4-5 minutes per side).
    • Remove the browned chicken from the skillet and onto a baking sheet.

    • Top the chicken with Swiss cheese slices and mounds of the prepared crabmeat.
    • In a medium skillet, simmer butter, white wine, Dijon mustard, and chicken stock until it reduces.
    • Top the crabmeat with plenty of fresh asparagus which has been steamed to just tender (the microwave works well for this).

    • Pour the butter and white wine sauce over the chicken Oscar and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until the chicken is cooked through (approximately 30 minutes).
    • Serve and enjoy!

    Whew, I know that seems like an awful lot of steps and a lot of instructions but I guarantee you that they're all worth it!

    Get Recipe Ingredients

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius)

    To marinate the chicken breasts:

    • Mix the marinade ingredients in a large zip-top bag. Add the chicken breast and marinade for 20-30 minutes.

    To make the breading:

    • In a shallow dish, combine the breading ingredients and coat the marinated chicken on both sides with the breading. Set the breaded chicken aside while preparing the crabmeat topping.

    To make the crabmeat topping:

    • In a medium bowl, stir together the crabmeat topping ingredients and chill until ready to use.

    To pan fry the breaded chicken:

    • Melt the butter and oil together in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add the breaded chicken breast and brown the chicken on both sides until golden (approximately 4-5 minutes per side).
    • While the chicken is browning, prepare the asparagus spears by steaming them lightly, but not overcooking them, in the microwave. Keep warm.
    • Remove the browned and breaded chicken breasts from the skillet and place on a baking sheet.
    • Top each chicken breast with two slices of Swiss cheese and divide the crabmeat topping equally between the chicken breasts.
    • Bake the crab topped chicken breasts in a preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
    • *Note - the proper internal temperature for cooked chicken breasts is 160-165 degrees Farenheight.

    To make the pan sauce:

    • While the chicken is cooking in the oven bring the sauce ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan, whisking occasionally. Cook for 5-6 minutes over medium/high heat until the sauce reduces by half.

    To complete the dish:

    • Remove the chicken Oscar from the oven and place the steamed asparagus over each chicken breast.
    • Spoon the reduced sauce over the chicken, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
    • Serve immediately, and enjoy!

        Thanks, Debbie!
        When I first shared that post I also added the story of where the recipe inspiration came from. That's kind of taboo now, in the world of food blogging, but I'm glad you appreciate it. Small world that you love this recipe, and were born in the same area where we zip lined. LOL
        Thanks for the comment and 5 star rating for the recipe. I appreciate it!
        Take good care,
