• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.75 cup Low-fat milk

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the pan, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

Step 4

Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
