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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the low-sodium chicken broth and unsalted dry white wine, ensuring no lumps form.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken further.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more pepper or lemon juice, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately over your choice of grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
