Steps

1. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add yellow and red bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion, saute until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper to skillet; saute 3 minutes. Add whipping cream and chicken stock. Simmer until sauce heats and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add basil and 1 c. grated Parmesan cheese to sauce, stirring to incorporate. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, simmer. Sauce will reduce and thicken.
2. Wash, drain and pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Pound until very thin, the thinner the chicken breasts the better.
3. Mix breadcrumbs, flour, and Parmesan cheese together.
