I continue to look for new recipes for herbs from my garden, I'm loving some of the ones I have found. This one uses Basil.
Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce
2 large skinless chicken breasts
¼ c. milk
¼ c. seasoned dried bread crumbs
3 T. butter
½ t. chicken flavored bouillon
1 c. heavy cream
4 oz jar pimentos, sliced ¼ inch thick
½ c. packed thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 t. pepper
Fresh basil sprigs for garnish
Egg noodles
In a large zippered plastic bag place a chicken breast and pound out to ¼ inch thickness, do the same with the other chicken breast. Place the chicken into a pie plate with the milk then dip into the bread crumbs to coat. In a skillet over medium heat melt the butter then cook the chicken 3-5 minutes on both sides, until tender and slightly golden brown. While the chicken cooks start the egg noodles to boil. Arrange chicken on a warming platter to keep warm. In the same skillet, stir in the chicken bouillon and ½ c. water, heat to a medium boil, stirring frequently. Stir in heavy cream; add pimentos, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add sliced basil, grated Parmesan and pepper. Place chicken on top of noodles and pour cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs.
