How to Make Lemon Mushroom Sauce

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter is melted.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms (this is your roux).
  3. Gradually whisk in the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Add 3/4 cup of the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite chicken, fish, or pasta dish.
