Reduce sauce slightly (2 minutes), then add cornstarch and stir well. If using fresh basil, add now. Continue to reduce for another few minutes. Sauce should be fairly liquid and light flavored.

Very good. Easy to make with ingredients I ususally have on hand. Next time I’m going to try to cook the chicken breasts whole and them remove them. Cut them up and add them halfway during the sauce. Butter is good, but olive oil is better for your heart.
