Chicken in Basil Cream Sauce

This recipe made a lot of sauce, so I was able to pour some into a bag and freeze it for later!  Almost an instant dinner! 

 

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

 

Directions:

 

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.
