In a small pan, heat framboise. Ignite the framboise and carefully pour it over the chicken while still flaming. Shake pan gently to extinguish the flames. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.
Pour vinegar into the skillet and stir over high heat with a wooden spoon to loosen any particles from bottom of pan. Add tomatoes, garlic, chicken base, tomato paste and 1/2 c heavy cream. Stir and bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Return chicken and any accumulated liquid to the skillet. Add quartered strawberries, raspberries and remaining cream. Cook 2 minutes or until chicken is almost cooked through. Add 2 T scallions and cook 1 minute longer.
Divide sauce among 4 warm dinner plates. Place 2 breasts on each plate; Place a fanned strawberry at the thinner side of each breast with a garnish of basil leaves on top. Sprinkle with sliced green onion tops.
