Instructions
- If you're starting to make this sauce after cooking our chicken meatballs, use the same frying pan and leave it on medium heat. If starting this recipe from scratch, use a medium frying pan and turn to medium heat.
- Add the butter and once melted add the minced shallot. Cook for a few minutes to soften.
- Add the white wine to deglaze the pan; cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Whisk in the cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice and water or chicken broth until combined and turn to medium-low heat. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring often until slightly thickened. If you've made the chicken meatballs this is the time to add them back to the sauce. If not, remove the sauce from the oven and serve with your desired protein.
Notes
- This sauce is delicious with our chicken meatballs recipe but also with other favourite proteins.
- If making this sauce with another protein, cook the protein in the frying pan first. Remove the protein and follow the recipe to make the butter lemon sauce; then, add back the protein to the sauce at the end OR serve the sauce over the protein.
