Basil Cream Chicken

Basil Cream Chicken

This is one of those recipes that is so good you share it with your neighbor. Pan breaded chicken baked in a cream sauce – terrible and wonderful at the same time. This is an ideal leftover meal, as the chicken is moist and the cream sauce helps after microwaving. With a lot of flavor and texture, this is on our to-make-again list!

The original recipe doesn’t bake the chicken, but instead cooks it fully in the pan and serves with the cream sauce. If you’re like us, and your chicken blackens before it cooks, just stick to our modifications for a fully-cooked meal! ;)
