Chicken in Basil Cream

I am doing more menu planning with I'm an Organizing Junkie and finding more deals at Pick N Save for $5 Dinners and putting them together with great recipes:-)

Summer isn't over yet but my life is starting to pick back up anyway. This week, I have 2 doctor appointments, Girl Scout Day at The Wisconsin State Fair, an oil change and back to school shopping. I am also helping my older daughter pack to move back to Madison for college. She is a Junior this year and getting her first apartment!!! Unbelievable!

Thank goodness Pick N Save is helping me out with my menu planning! They have split chicken breasts on sale for $1.28/lb. (normally $4.69/lb.) !! I bought a bunch so I could make Chicken in Basil Cream. Check out the recipe below.

Here is everything that I am serving this week:

Monday: Spaghetti (Cleaning Day)

Tuesday: Chicken in Basil Cream (2 doctor appointments) (See recipe below)

Wednesday: Leftovers (Girl Scout Day at The Wisconsin State Fair)

Thursday: Pork Chops (oil change)

Friday: Eat Out (Back to school shopping)

Chicken In Basil Cream
Ingredients:
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 Tbs butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Directions
1. Place milk and bread crumbs in separate, shallow bowls. In skillet, heat butter or margarine to medium heat. Dip chicken in milk, then coat with crumbs. Cook in butter or margarine, on both sides, until juices run clear (about 10 minutes). Remove and keep warm.

2. Add broth to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in cream and pimentos; boil and stir for 1 minute. Reduce heat.

3. Add Parmesan cheese, basil and pepper. Stir sauce and cook until heated through. Pour mixture over chicken and serve!
