Creamy Basil Chicken

Based on skillet basil cream chicken @ thecookierookie

FODMAP Warning: This recipe uses cream, cheese, and milk.

Adjusted measurements for us Australian viewers and simplified to use what I usually have on hand.

I tried oat bran instead of breadcrumbs because I had no breadcrumbs, and to also add in some extra protein. It actually worked quite well, when cooking, it smelled a bit like oats, but after the sauce drenches this dish, you'll not notice it.

INGREDIENTS
Forgot to take a picture of the food, so here's a fantastic
picture of fresh basil!
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • ½ cup oat bran (or bread crumbs)

  • 1 can diced tomatoes

  • ½ cup Parmesan; grated
  • 2 tablespoons feta (or other similar cheese)
