  • Author: Dulcia

  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Cutlets:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts πŸ”
1/2 cup milk πŸ₯›
3/4 cup dried Italian breadcrumbs 🍞
3 tablespoons butter 🧈

For the Basil Cream Sauce:

2 cloves garlic, minced πŸ§„
1/2 cup chicken broth 🍲
1 cup heavy whipping cream πŸ₯›
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese πŸ§€
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 🌿
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 🌢️


Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 275Β°F (135Β°C). Grease a 9Γ—13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside. πŸ”₯

2️⃣ Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two even pieces (cutlets). You will have 4 cutlets total. Pound each cutlet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Place the milk in a shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Dip each chicken cutlet thoroughly in milk, then coat with breadcrumbs. πŸ₯›πŸž

3️⃣ In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook the coated chicken cutlets until golden-brown on each side, being careful not to burn them. Place chicken side by side in the prepared baking dish. Place chicken in the oven to finish cooking while you prepare the basil cream sauce (the chicken takes about 10 minutes in the oven; the internal temperature of the chicken needs to be 165Β°F). πŸ§ˆπŸ—

4️⃣ Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds over medium heat. Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and stir to loosen browned bits from the pan. Stir in cream. Bring to a slight boil and stir for several seconds, then reduce heat to low. Add the Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, and pepper. Continue to stir sauce until it thickens; about 5 minutes or so. πŸ§„πŸ²πŸ₯›πŸ§€πŸŒΏ

5️⃣ Serve the chicken with basil cream sauce on top. Enjoy! πŸ—πŸŒΏπŸ½οΈ
