Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and Marsala wine, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry.
Step 5
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving over your favorite dish like chicken or pasta.
