Instructions

White Wine Cream Sauce

1

Begin by melting the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Let the flour get a little toasty, about 1 minute of stirring then add the white wine. Whisk continuously to dissolve any lumps, bring to a simmer. Add the chicken broth or stock and bring the mixture up to a simmer.

2

Stir the fresh minced herbs into the sauce and continue to simmer until the mixture has thickened some. Then add the cream and continue to simmer for another few minutes.

3

When the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency, remove from heat. Taste the sauce and add Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste.
