Recipe of the week - Basil Lemon Chicken

 This is another Taste of Home recipe I came across in one of my cook books.  We eat a lot of chicken, so it's always nice to try something new.  This was pretty easy stove top cooking.  Enjoy!



Basil Lemon Chicken

1.5 pounds chicken tenderloins

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup chicken broth

3 Tbsp lemon juice

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1 Tbsp dried basil

1/4 tsp thyme

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.  In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat.  Brown the chicken on both sides and remove from pan.  Add the broth and lemon juice to the pan, stirring to loosen the brown bits.  Bring to a boil.  Cook 2-3 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.  Stir in cream, basil and thyme.  Add the chicken and return to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.  Serve with past or rice or by itself.
