Basil Cream Sauce Chicken


My neighbor Dilene gave me this recipe this week and we tried it and LOVED it!  It is so good and so easy!  We served it with medium shell pasta so the extra sauce went over the shells and the boys thought it was like gourmet mac and cheese.  This will definitely be a keeper at our house!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 4 chicken breasts cut into halves (8 pieces)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
  • Optional: I like to pound and flatten the chicken out a little so it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Place milk and bread crumbs in seperate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in milk, then coat with crumbs. In a skillet over medium heat cook chicken in butter until browned on both sides. Remove chicken from skillet and keep in a 9x13 pan in the oven on warm.
  • Add chicken broth to skillet and stir to loosen up browned bits from pan. Stir in cream, basil, and pepper and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and whisk in parmesan cheese. Pour sauce over the chicken and serve.
