  We study heavy-light meson resonances with quantum numbers J^P=0^+ and
J^P=1^+ in terms of the non-linear chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. At leading order a
parameter-free prediction is obtained for the scattering of Goldstone bosons
off heavy-light pseudo-scalar and vector mesons once we insist on approximate
crossing symmetry of the unitarized scattering amplitude. The recently
announced narrow open charm states observed by the BABAR and CLEO
collaborations are reproduced. We suggest the existence of states that form an
anti-triplet and a sextet representation of the SU(3) group. In particular, so
far unobserved narrow isospin-singlet states with negative strangeness
(I,S)=(0,-1) are predicted at 2361 MeV J^P=0^+ and 2501 MeV (J^P=1^+).
Similarly, open bottom states are found at 5719 MeV (J^P=0^+) and 5622 MeV
(J^P=1^+). Additional narrow states of mass 5580 MeV (J^P=0^+) and 5650 MeV
(J^P=1^+) with widths of about 50 MeV are obtained in the (I,S)=(1,1) sector.
For the anti-triplet states our results differ most significantly from
predictions that are based on a linear realization of the chiral SU(3) symmetry
in the open bottom sector. Strongly bound 0^+-and 1^+-states with (I,S)=(0,1)
at 5507 MeV and 5553 MeV are predicted.
