I always suggest using a good food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is safe to consume once it hits 165ยฐF.

You can keep it simple by serving this delicious chicken with a side of potatoes or veggies but it also pairs well with pasta, rice, or a fresh salad.

If the cream sauce is not thick enough to your liking you can always make a little cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water.

If you don’t have any Dried Basil on hand you can substitute for some Dried Oregano or Thyme.
