A delightful mushroom sauce for chicken

• ¼cup finely chopped shallots (chopped onion will work if you can’t find shallots)
• 2oz butter (½ stick)
• 8oz fresh supermarket mushrooms, sliced
• ½cup white wine
• 8oz chicken based demi-glace
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium high heat and sauté shallots briefly until they become translucent. Add the wine, then the mushrooms and cook until most of the wine is cooked off. Add chicken based demi-glace and simmer for approx. 5-6 minutes (until sauce has thickened). You know the sauce is ready when it is thick enough to coat a spoon.

Restaurant trick – If you want an even richer sauce, whisk in a tablespoon or two of butter at the end.

Sauce is excellent over any grilled, roasted, or pan-fried chicken.
