- When the cheese has started to melt bring the chicken back to the pan. Turn the chicken over a few times to get the filets coated with the cheese and butter mixture. After just about a minute put the basil into the pan.
- Let the basil wilt just a little. After you lay the filets on the plates be sure to spoon the butter, cheese and basil mixture on to the filets. Then serve up your Butter Cheese Chicken Filets. Gammy says that she knows you will like them. We sure did. They turned out great!
