Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat chicken broth
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic clove.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, making sure not to burn it.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the low-fat milk to create a smooth slurry.
Pour the chicken broth and the remainder of the low-fat milk into the saucepan with the onions and garlic, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, constantly stirring until the mixture thickens.
Once thickened, turn the heat down to low and add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
Let the sauce simmer on low for another 2-3 minutes to develop the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
