When we cooked this, picture shown, we used bone-in chicken thighs. The crispy skin made the dish.

Cook chicken in large skillet with 2TB olive oil over med -high heat until just done. Set aside to cool.

Sauce:

Heat chicken stock. Heat butter and remaining oil in small pan. Add flour to create roux and cook until it is a medium blonde color ( 2-4 mins) Remove from heat and add heated stock slowly to the roux. Stiring until smooth or slurry at each addition. When all stock is incorporated return pan to a medium heat and cook until stock has thickened into a veloute.

While on medium heat, add lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, white wine, salt, and sugar to veloute.

Stir and cook for 2 minutes, then slowly add cream. Add additional stock or reduce for desire thickness, then adjust taste with salt and pepper to personal taste.
