Chicken w/Basil Cream Sauce by Cali

Recipe Introduction
My DD joined DH, DS and I for dinner and I made this. I made a few extra pieces of chicken for leftovers, but alas...we all loved it so much, there was not one speck left. I used buttermilk for the milk in the ingredients, didn't have fresh basil and had to use dried, but it was still excellent. I served it over egg noodles rather than rice, but using Cali's serving suggestions, I also served steamed brocolli and fresh tomatoes in Italian dressing.
I am also going to experiment with using artichokes in the sauce and see how we like that. What is so good about this dish is that it was sooooo easy to prepare. Therefore, I intend to make this for my entree the next time Gourmet Club is at my house (November).
Thank you Cali!!!!

We had this for dinner last night & it went into my T&T file. I
served it with fluffy rice (for the delicious
sauce), steamed broccoli & a plate of DH's beautiful tomatoes. This
rec. would be great for company!

List of Ingredients
4 servings
1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. dried bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (large)
3 Tbsps. butter
1/2 C. chicken broth
1 C. heavy whipping cream (can sub fat-free half
& half)
1 (4oz.) jar sliced pimentos, drained (see note)
1/2 C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 C. chopped fresh basil
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Recipe
Dip chicken in milk, then into breadcrumbs, coating well. Saute in
butter on medium heat until chicken
pieces are a rich golden brown & the juices run clear when tested
(approx. 10 minutes). Remove to a
deep platter & keep warm.
Add broth to skillet & boil & stir to loosen browned bits from pan.
Stir in cream & pimentos; boil & stir
for 1 minute. Lower heat & stir in Parmesan cheese, basil & pepper.
Pour sauce over chicken & serve.
**Dh has red bell peppers in the garden, so I just cut 1 into
slivers & sauteed for a minute & added
them instead of the pimentos.
