Categories: Poultry

Serves: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

4 Chicken breast halves;
-skinned/boned
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tb Butter
2 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Dry white wine

Instructions:
----------------------------------GARNISH----------------------------------
Lemon basil leaves
Fresh lemon slices

Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with the edge of a
mug or a wooden mallet, evenly and gently until they are 1/4-inch thick.
Dredge each piece with salt & pepper. In a large skillet, heat butter and
oil. When butter is melted, add the chicken and cook quickly for a minute
or two on each side, or until it loses its pinkness inside. Remove chicken
to a hot platter and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven.

Add the wine and lemon juice to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring
to blend in browned particles and juices. Boil until reduced by about half.
Add the cream, lemon basil, thyme and parsley; boil until sauce thickens
slightly. Pour any juices that collected on the chicken meat platter into
the skillet. Taste sauce for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed.
Pour sauce over the sauteed chicken and garnish with lemon basil leaves and
lemon slices.
