Fall colors!

​This fall we don’t have to drive out of town to view beautiful fall colors, we have them right here in our own Fairmont! Our front yard’s ash tree has the most vibrant yellow leaves and we have two maple trees at neighbors who have vibrant red leaves! Tree colors are beautiful all over town, maybe at my age I am just more appreciative of what we have right here!
 
I still have fresh basil and tomatoes too so this is one of my favorite recipes to use both!
 
Basil Cream Chicken
 
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 # boneless skinless chicken breast: 4 halves
3 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 can ( 4 oz.) pimentos, optional
1 cup diced tomatoes or 1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced
1/2 cup parmesan grated cheese
1/2 tsp. pepper
 
Heat skillet over medium high heat.
Place milk and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls.
Dip chicken in milk, then coat in bread crumbs. Add chicken to skillet with 1/2 of the butter about 5 minutes. Add remaining butter flip chicken and cook another 5-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove and set aside. Add broth to skillet to bring to boil over medium heat.
