My favorite recipe

 Recently I came across a recipe on Pinterest. (This is my all-time favorite place to find recipes) Like many of my friends, I have pinned hundreds of recipes. I have also made a bunch of them. The one I liked the most is for a garlic basil cream sauce. It can be served over pasta or as the recipe calls for, over breaded chicken. I'm not sure who the original author of this recipe is, and I am not taking credit for it. It's just too good and too easy for me to have invented. Check it out and give it a try for yourself. You will not regret it.

              

 Basil Cream Sauce 

1/4 cup milk 

1/2 cup bread crumbs 

2 tsp bell pepper seasoning

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast; 4 halves

3 tbs butter 

3 cloves garlic- chopped

1/2 cup chicken broth 

1/2 can italian style diced tomatoes- drained and finely chopped 

1 cup heavy whipping cream 

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese  

2 tbs basil 

~ Melt Butter in a frying pan on medium heat

~In seperate bowls place milk and breadcrumbs

~ Bread the chicken by first dipping it in milk to coat and then immediately in bowl of bread crumbs. use a spoon to help you coat it completely

~ Brown chicken in pan with butter

~Take chicken out and set aside

~Add  garlic to pan. cook 1 minute 

~Add broth, bring to a boil 

~Stir occasionally to loosen brown parts on bottom of pan

~Stir in cream and tomatoes, bring to a boil, and stir for 1 minute. 

~ Reduce heat to low

~Add cheese, basil and a dash of pepper, stir and cook through, let sit to thicken. 

I served this the other night over pan-cooked chicken, and a bed of gluten free spaghetti noodles. It was fantastic. In the past I have done the breaded chicken and it too was fantastic.
