Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 2: Once melted, add the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly with a whisk to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.
Step 3: Gradually whisk in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.
Step 4: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue to whisk until it thickens, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 5: Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper until well incorporated.
Step 7: Simmer the sauce for 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together, and it reaches desired thickness.
Step 8: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and chives.
Step 9: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, considering low sodium preferences. Serve immediately over pasta or vegetables.
