Instructions
- Step 1: Turn off the heat, add wine to the skillet, and scrape the fond from the bottom. Heat to medium and reduce by half. (Tips: Wine must reduce to enhance flavor.)
- Step 2: Add butter and garlic, cooking for 1 additional minute. (Tips: Don't let the garlic burn.)
- Step 3: Add flour, stirring continuously for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. (Tips: Keep stirring to avoid lumps.)
- Step 4: Gradually add chicken broth mixture, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle bubble for 5 minutes. (Tips: This helps thicken the sauce and meld flavors.)
- Step 5: Reduce heat to low and add Parmesan slowly, stirring until melted. Stir in lemon juice. (Tips: Add cheese gradually to melt evenly.)
- Step 6: Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer for 4 minutes. (Tips: Ensure chicken is well coated with sauce.)
- Step 7: Add lemon wedges and simmer for 1 more minute. Garnish with parsley and freshly cracked pepper before serving. (Tips: Fresh lemon adds a bright finish.)
Additional Information
Notes: For extra flavor, consider adding capers or spinach to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat using the suggested method to retain texture and flavor.
