Chicken in Basil Cream Sauce

I can officially declare this Chicken in Basil Cream Sauce my favorite meal at the moment. It is spectacular! 🙂 Crispy pan fried chicken drenched in a warm basil and Parmesan creamy cheese sauce. Mmmmm It is literally heaven on a plate! There are many reasons why I adore this chicken, but I especially love that it’s all done on the stove-top. No oven required. I’m really trying to avoid my oven at all costs with these crazy hot temperatures. 🙂 This chicken is really incredible. It’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner, and fancy enough to serve to guests on the weekend!
