- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12-ounces (about 4) chicken breasts
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon sliced basil, packed
- 2-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2-4 tablespoons milk

Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness; do not pound thin.
- In a nonstick skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until translucent.
- Stir in garlic and continue to cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Transfer to serving plate and set aside.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- When oil is hot, add chicken breasts to skillet and cook 7 minutes; flip and continue to cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and browned on both sides.
- Remove from skillet and transfer to serving plate over bed of onions. Keep covered and warm; set aside.
- MAKE THE SAUCE
- Set up a double boiler by adding an inch of water to a small pot.
- Bring water to a rapid boil and lower to medium-heat.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl that is larger than the small pot.
- Set the bowl over the pot, making certain that the bowl can't touch the water.
- Mix and stir until sauce is smooth and creamy; about 3 to 4 minutes.
- If it's too thick (it should be slightly pourable) add a tablespoon of milk.
- Taste and adjust accordingly.
- Remove from heat and pour sauce over prepared chicken breasts.
- Serve.
Notes
- Pound chicken pieces so that they are all about the same size. Do not pound them thin!
