When I first read this recipe, I thought it looked difficult. But because I had all the ingredients readily at hand, I gave it a try. Am I glad I did! Not only it is simple to prepare, it tastes. —Judy Baker Craig, Colorado

1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 jar (4 ounces) sliced pimientos, drained

1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Place milk and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in milk, then coat with crumbs.
