Chicken Breasts With Creamy Basil Sauce

This is a very quick and elegant recipe that would be great for serving special guests. I use fat-free half and half because it is one dairy product I can't tell the difference in.

I've tried making this a few times. Every time I make it my house fills up with smoke. The outside of the chicken burns while the inside is still raw. I'm guessing it needs to cook longer on a lower temperature. It usually still manages to come out ok in the end but I'm not impressed enough with the flavor to keep setting off the smoke alarm.Reply
