Chicken in Basil Cream Sauce




Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 4 chicken breasts cut into halves (8 pieces)
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 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.

  1. this one was pretty good. We really liked the sauce it made. We bought some spinach ravioli which was perfect as the pasta for this dish.

  2. We also only had half and half so we used that instead of the cream. It was probably a little more runny but still very good.
