   Grind the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and basil until it is a powder

   tbsp oil in a frying pan and saute the chicken until it is cooked but
   not overcooked and dry. Meanwhile, brush another frying pan with
   remaining cooking oil and saute the onions until they are transparent.
    Add the white wine and reduce until it is a syrup. Add 1/2 of the
   peppercorns and crush with a fork in the pan. Add the chicken stock
   and reduce by 1/2.  Now, tranfser the liquid from the pan into blender
   and blend until smooth. Place the mixture back in the frying pan, add
   the rest of the peppercorns (do not crush this time) and the 35%
   cream.  Cook this slowly until the mixture thickens. Pour over the
   cooked chicken breasts and enjoy.
