Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you avoid scrambling around and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very delicate and can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream sauce is one of the key components of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cream. Look for a cream that is at least 35% fat.
- Season the sauce to taste: The sauce should be flavorful and slightly tangy. Taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will start to dry out if it sits for too long.

Chicken with basil cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender chicken, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
