CHICKEN IN BASIL CREAM



Chicken in Basil Cream image

From Quick Cooking (now called Simple & Delicious). We love fresh basil, and grow some in our very little garden every year. Not only is this dish simple to prepare, it tastes delicious. I substitute evaporated fat-free or low-fat milk for the whipping cream to make it a bit healthier. I fyou pound your chicken to an even thickness (about 1/2") the times should be pretty accurate.
