1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (about 4 small halves)
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon oil
3/4 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon parsley
2 tablespoons fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the chicken and cook 5-6 minutes on each side or until it's cooked through. Remove chicken, reserving dripping sin the skillet. Cover chicken to keep warm.
  • Add broth to the skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up all those flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
