- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese adjust for desired thickness
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp dried basil

- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant but not browned. Add dried herbs.
