Ingredients
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  1. 1. Place milk and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in the milk, then coat with breadcrumbs. In a skillet over medium heat, fry chicken in butter or margarine, on both sides, until the juices run clear. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  2. 2. Add the broth to the skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in the cream and pimentos; boil and stir for one minute.
