Ingredients
For the Chicken Cutlets:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts π
1/2 cup milk π₯
3/4 cup dried Italian breadcrumbs π
3 tablespoons butter π§
For the Basil Cream Sauce:
2 cloves garlic, minced π§
1/2 cup chicken broth π²
1 cup heavy whipping cream π₯
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese π§
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil πΏ
1/4 teaspoon black pepper πΆοΈ
Instructions
1οΈβ£ Preheat oven to 275Β°F (135Β°C). Grease a 9Γ13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside. π₯
2οΈβ£ 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. π₯π
3οΈβ£ 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). π§π
4οΈβ£ 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. π§π²π₯π§πΏ
5οΈβ£ Serve the chicken with basil cream sauce on top. Enjoy! ππΏπ½οΈ
