Ingredients

  • ½ small onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 12 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ½ cup white wine
  • cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water or broth
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, saute the onion in butter for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring until the mushrooms release their juices. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the wine to deglaze and loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for a few minutes until the wine has almost evaporated.
  • Add the cream and chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced by half.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water or broth and mix well. Add the cornstarch mixture into the sauce a little at a time until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Depending on your preferences, you may not need all of the cornstarch slurry.
  • Let the sauce simmer for about 1 minute.
  • Season with fresh parsley and additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve and enjoy!
