- Step 1
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add minced shallot, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until limp and translucent.

- Step 3
Remove chicken, and keep it warm. Season broth with salt. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Bring broth to a boil. Pour cornstarch mixture into sauce, whisking constantly. Return sauce to a boil, still whisking. Lower heat slightly, and simmer for 2 minutes, whisking.

I didn't bother with the cornstarch, just added a bit more butter to thicken up the sauce. I have chervil every spring in my garden as it's tougher than the lettuces in the Winter Mix I plant and really didn't know what to do with it. This is quite good, would make it again.
