Breaded Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce
Today’s breaded chicken with basil cream sauce recipe is one that I created using my recipe for breaded chicken. Then I paired it with a sauce recipe that I found on the site Food on The Table.
I love my breaded chicken so I decided to go with my recipe. Then I used the sauce portion of the recipe from the Food on the Table site. I also ran out of fresh basil and ended up having to use dry. It worked fine but the fresh would have been even better. I love fresh basil. This breaded chicken with basil cream sauce was delicious and fairly easy to put together.
