SUPER SUPPERS PARMESAN CHICKEN WITH CREAMY SAGE SAUCE
This isn't a copycat recipe. This is THE recipe from Super Suppers. If you've ever made it, you know you love it. If you haven't, well get cooking already! By the way, the original recipe calls for Campbell's White Cream Sauce (Bechamel), but it is rather difficult to find. If you cannot find it, just use recipe #61333 and shoot for medium thickness.

- Place the chicken on the foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, until breading is golden brown.

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.

Tips:
- Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Look for Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 24 months, and use fresh, heavy cream.
- Don't overheat the sauce: Overheating can cause the sauce to curdle or separate. Cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is thickened and creamy.
- Add the Parmesan cheese at the end: Stirring in the Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking will help prevent it from becoming grainy.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
