Chicken Breasts With Creamy Basil Sauce image

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.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, but it turned out great! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll simplify the recipe a bit.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less cream.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but this dish was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use a different herb.
