Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup finely chopped onion about 1 small onion
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme finely chopped or
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme or poultry seasoning
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt it. Add the onions and sauté, for 3 minutes, until they turn translucent and golden. Add the garlic and stir to cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth and white wine to the pan, bringing it to a simmer while stirring. Add the thyme, stir to combine, and reduce the heat to medium-low to simmer the alcohol off for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce has also reduced to half to ⅓ the original amount.
- Once the white wine sauce is ready, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water and mix until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, mix to combine, and simmer for 2 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- The sauce is now ready to be tossed with cooked pasta or over your favorite protein.

Notes
- For an alcohol-free version, use cooking wine, which is located near the balsamic vinegar and oils at the grocery store. It has a nearly identical flavor profile, and it's free from alcohol.
