--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4       lg           Chicken fillets
                        -----CRUMB TOPPING-----
   1       c            Bread crumbs, fresh
     1/3   c            Parmesan, grated
   1       tb           Parsley, chopped
     1/4   lb           Bacon
   3       oz           Butter
   2                    Garlic cloves
   2       ts           Worcestershire sauce
     1/2   ts           Mustard, dry
                        -----BASIL SAUCE-----
     1/2   c            Oil
     1/4   c            White vinegar
   1                    Garlic clove, crushed
     1/2   c            Cream
   1                    Egg yolk
   1       c            Basil leaves (fresh),
                        -finely chopped

  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Combine bread crumbs,
  cheese and parsley. Saute chopped bacon and drain on
  absorbent paper.  Add the bacon to the bread crumb
  mix. This is the crumb topping for the chicken.
  
  In a pan, melt the butter, then add the crushed
  garlic, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Mix and heat
  through. Coat the chicken fillets with the butter
  mixture by dipping them in the saucepan. Arrange in a
  shallow, ovenproof dish. Press the bread crumb mixture
  on top of the chicken pieces to provide a crumb
  topping. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes.
  
  While the chicken cooks, make the basil sauce:  in a
  saucepan combine all sauce ingredients except the egg
  yolk.  Stir until heated and then add the egg yolk,
  stirring until thickened. Do not boil. Pour the hot
  sauce over the chicken pieces just before serving.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  Oven-baked chicken pieces with basil sauce -- This
  recipe came originally from "The Australian Women's
  Weekly Dinner Party Cookbook No. 2," available at an
  Australian news agent near you.
  
  *  The sauce sounds unusual but tastes great.  The
  fresh basil gives it a good green colour. Serve with
  green, vegetables, such as beans and snow peas, or a
  leafy green salad for a colour-coordinated dinner.
  
  *  The finer the ingredients in the topping the better
  will be its effect.
