Add wine. Bring to simmer and scrape the bottom of the skillet to mix all the brown bits into the wine.

Let the wine simmer for 1 minute or so until the smell of alcohol is gone which means it has evaporated.

Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Stir regularly to dissolve parmesan cheese.

Taste sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Stir through basil leaves, then return chicken into pan. Spoon sauce over and simmer 1 minute.

Serve immediately! Great served over mashed potato, Creamy Mashed Cauliflower or pasta. Or serve with bread on the side to mop up sauce!
