Place 1 basil leaf and 1 sage leaf on each; wrap chicken with 2 or 3 grape leaves. In large saucepan with steaming rack, place about 1 inch of water; add garlic and rosemary and bring to a boil. Arrange chicken on steaming rack, cover and cook on high heat for about 20 minutes, making sure that the water doesn't completely evaporate. Place chicken on serving plate and pour sauce around it. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice, if desired.
