Gradually add milk, chicken broth and wine; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Set sauce aside. Saute onion in 1 tb. butter in a large skillet until tender. Add crabmeat, sliced mushrooms, cracker crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper; stir well. Add 2 tb reserved sauce, stirring well. Top each chicken breast half with 1/4 cup crabmeat mixture. Fold long sides of chicken over crabmeat mixture; fold ends over, and secure with wooden picks.
