Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup unsalted dry white wine
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is lightly golden and has a nutty aroma. This forms a roux that will thicken the sauce.
Gradually whisk in the low-sodium chicken broth and unsalted dry white wine, ensuring no lumps form.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken further.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard, freshly ground black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more pepper or lemon juice, if desired.
Serve immediately over your choice of grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
