Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create four uniform cutlets and pound to 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Dip each cutlet in milk, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing them in well.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  5. Transfer the browned chicken to the baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, add chicken broth, and bring to a boil.
  7. Stir in heavy whipping cream and bring to a slight boil again, then reduce heat and add Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper.
  8. Serve the chicken cutlets on warm plates and ladle the basil cream sauce over them.
