Chicken in a Basil Cream Sauce

It is as good as it sounds.  This is my sisters recipe, and it will totally be made again.  Jacob and Joe loved it!  Which is what I was going for!  Enjoy!

Chicken in a Basil Cream Sauce
4 boneless chicken breasts (I cut mine into strips)
1 c. milk
1 c. Italian bread crumbs (I didn't have any so I added Italian seasoning to plain crumbs)
1/4 c. butter
1 c. chicken broth
2 c. heavy whipping cream
1/2-1 c. parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried basil
1/8 tsp. pepper
Place milk and bread crumbs in two separate shallow containers.  Dip chicken in milk then cover with bread crumbs.  Melt butter in a skillet and brown in butter on both sides until chicken is cooked through.  Remove chicken and cover with foil to keep warm.  Add chicken broth to pan and stir to loosen all the yummy stuff in the pan.  Stir in cream, basil, and pepper and bring to a boil.  Cook until thickened.  Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.  *Note: If you want a thicker sauce, mix in a little cornstarch with water and mix it in at the end.  Serve over pasta.
