Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter

1/2 cup yellow onion diced

2 Tbsp garlic minced

1 cup white wine

1 cup chicken stock

1 Tbsp lemon juice (~1 large lemon)

1 Tbsp dried parsley

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 pound butter (8 tablespoons, one stick)

Directions

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter until melted.

Add the onion and garlic to the butter and cook until just soft but not brown, approximately 3 minutes.

Add the white wine and simmer to burn off some of the alcohol and reduce 2 minutes. Scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pot while simmering.

Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, parsley, and crushed red pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.

Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the remaining 8 Tablespoons (1/4 stick) of butter until incorporated.
