Scale
Chicken Cutlets
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup dried Italian breadcrumbs
- 3 Tablespoons butter
Basil Cream Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Chicken Cutlets – Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 4 cutlets. Pound them to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip in milk, then coat with breadcrumbs. Cook in a skillet until golden-brown. Bake in the oven to finish cooking.
