How to Make Dijon Dill Cream Sauce

Finely chop 1/2 cup yellow onion. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped onion with 1 cup chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the broth is mostly absorbed and the onions are very soft, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Pour in 1 cup heavy cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately over your favorite breaded chicken cutlets. Enjoy!
