Default Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce

I'm always trying to find something that is fast and easy.
I came up with this today as I was going through my pantry
looking for something to cook for dinner.

I did not measure anything, so use your best judgement.


6 chicken breast halves
cream
butter
Bertolli Pesto Sauce (1/4 cup = 2 grams carbs)
Seasoning for chicken (I used garlic salt and McCormicks
Rotisserie Chicken seasoning)
Olive oil

Heat pan. Season chicken. Drizzle oil to coat hot pan
(med. high). Put chicken in and brown on both sides about
8 minutes each side. Turn to low and cover. Melt cream
and butter together and add pesto sauce. Stir until it
thickens a little. Remove chicken from pan (check to make
sure it's no longer pink inside) and drain.
Replace chicken in pan and pour sauce over. Heat on low
to med. and sauce will begin to thicken more. Delicious!

I thought of different things to add like Parmesan or toasted
pine nuts (not sure of carb count on those).
