This is such a warm and welcoming dish....absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Cut chicken breasts lengthwise into 3/4-inch strips.  In a bag or large bowl place flour, salt and peppers.  Shake or combine and add chicken strips and coat with flour.  In a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and add chicken, turning to brown on all sides.  Add garlic and saute 1 minute.  Add broth, wine and lemon juice.  Simmer until chicken is completely cooked, about 15 minutes.  Pour in half-and-half and stir well.  Stir in mushrooms, parsley, basil and cheese.  Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over pasta.
