1 tablespoon fresh basil, sniped or 3/4 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, melted
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2/3 cup reduced-fat milk
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In small bowl, combine bread crumbs, 2 teaspoons of the fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon of the dried basil, paprika, and pepper. Drizzle with melted butter, toss gently to combine.
2. Arrange chicken in 2 quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle chicken with crumb mixture; press gently onto chicken to coat. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.(170 F).
3. Meanwhile, for sauce: In small saucepan, combine the milk, flour, bouilon granules, and remaining dried herb (if using). Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in the remaining fresh herb (if using). Serve chicken with sauce.
