Submitted By: 
Recipe Type: Main Dish
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 4 chicken breasts cut into halves (8 pieces)
  • ¼ cup margarine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • ¼ c diced pimento
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ⅛ t pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Optional: I like to pound and flatten the chicken out a little so it cooks evenly throughout.
  2. Place milk and bread crumbs in separate 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 9×13 pan in the oven on warm.
  3. Add chicken broth to skillet and stir to loosen up browned bits from pan. Stir in cream, pimento, basil, and pepper and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and whisk in Parmesan cheese. Pour sauce over the chicken and serve.
