Vesuvio Sandwich

I developed this sandwich for my son's restaurant, Rocky's Spaghetti House. 
It was without a doubt the classiest sandwich in our repertoire and oh so tasty.

2 Tbsp Heavy Cream
1/4 cup frozen (organic preferred) green peas
1/4 cup shredded parm.
2 Tbsp parsley
salt, pepper, garlic powder, fresh basil to taste.
Crusty Italian or French bread.

Prepare
To flatten chicken breast place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them flat with a meat mallet or place a flat side of a cleaver over meat and pound it with the side of your fist till about doubled in size.
Dredge chicken breasts in seasoned flour,
