Chicken with basil

A friend tasted a meat dumpling dish in a restaurant with the use of a lot of basil.  This gave me the idea for making this chicken dish, the fragrance of basil is wonderful.

1. Cut chicken thigh meat into pieces, season with salt, white pepper, olive oil and a tbsp of cornstarch.
2. Cut a handful of fresh basil into strips and mix with chicken, form into a ball, rest for half an hour.
3. Flatten the chicken mixture into 2cm thick, sear in frying pan with lid on, 2 minutes each side, and rest for 2 more minutes off heat. This way the outside is brown and inside steam cooked, 2 different texture and preserves the basil flavor better.
