Quick and easy pan fried chicken in basil cream sauce looks like you've spent all day in the kitchen. Serve with a side of linguine and some good bread.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 (4 oz) can pimentos, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, minced
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place milk and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls.

Dip chicken in milk, and then coat with crumbs.

In a skillet over medium high heat, add chicken with half of the butter. Cook about 5 min, then flip and add rest of the butter, until the chicken is cooked. Remove and keep warm.

Deglaze with chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Stir in cream and pimientos. Bring to a boil and stir for 1 minute.

Reduce heat and add parmesan cheese, basil and pepper. Cook and stir until it reaches a saucy consistency.

Serve chicken with sauce poured over.
