Step 1

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.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was DELICIOUS! I didn't have whipping cream so I just used 1 cup of milk in the sauce. It tasted really good! I can just imagine how amazing it tastes made with whipping cream. I can't wait to make this again!

I made this over the weekend. It was a hit with everyone, Said I could make it anytime. Easy to follow directions

I subsstituted bread crumbs with ground pecans. I also used butter instead of the margarine. This was delicious. Everyone loved it. Will certainly make it again.

I need to try this – looks very yummy!! I make meatballs in cream sauce that I LOVE!!!
