PAN FRIED CHICKEN MEDALLIONS IN CREAMY BASIL PARMESAN SAUCE
This is a very rich dish. I made it the other night for the family and we loved it. It is a little like alfredo sauce over fried chicken. That's the best description I can give you. Don't eat this if you don't/can't eat lots of fat. It is completely out of this world though. I hope those of you brave enough to try it enjoy it as much as I do.
