  • Evenly distribute the fresh herbs on top of that and season with salt and pepper.
  • "Fold"the chicken breasts back up and press tightly, tucking in cream cheese a bit.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper, paprika and flour.
  • In another dish, pour the beaten egg mixture.
  • In a third dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.

PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Pesto Cream Sauce image

Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.

QUICK HERB AND CREAM CHEESE PESTO



Quick Herb and Cream Cheese Pesto image

This is a super spread on hot toast, fresh bread or pasta. It's really worth it to make it when you can get fresh herbs -- it's really all about the herbs! Put in your processor, and whizz! Quantities can vary. I found it quite hard to measure because I simply use handfuls ... Prep time is a rough guess for preparing the herbs, assembling the ingredients, and processing.
