Chef: Joanielspeak
A cream sauce flavored with basil and garlic accompany chicken breasts for a quick and easy meal. I made this up one night while attempting to use up several half-used ingredients. My family was ultra pleasantly surprised by the outcome. It was delicious.
Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp each salt, pepper, italian seasoning
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cream
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
Instructions
In large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until sizzling. Sate garlic. Salt, pepper, and add italian seasoning to chicken. Add chicken to skillet; cook 8 to 12 minutes or until juices are clear. Remove from skillet; set aside. Reduce heat to medium. Add cream to skillet stirring constantly. Stir in tomatoes and basil. Return chicken to skillet. Cook 4 or 5 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with basil leaves if desired. Serve over rice or with a vegetable.

I made the basil sauce in a separate skillet and then mixed them in. Also, added the tomatoes while the chicken was still cooking and then another batch of tomatoes in the sauce skillet.
very tasty!
Extremely tasty dish. I let the cream cooked just a tad bit too long but it was still delicious.
We diced the chicken before adding it to the sauce, allowing for bite size pieces and easier eating.
This dish was delicious and very, very easy. Thank you for sharing this.
