Name: Lemon and Chive Pan Sauce
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Serves 4 (Makes about 3/4 cup)
Ingredients: 1 medium shallot, minced (about 3 tablespoons); 1 teaspoon unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth; 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon; 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, chilled

Instructions

Add shallot to now-empty skillet and cook over medium heat until softened, about 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Add broth, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to simmer, scraping pan bottom to loosen browned bits. Simmer rapidly until reduced to ¾ cup, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in any accumulated chicken juices; return to simmer and cook 30 seconds. Off heat, whisk in lemon juice, chives, and butter; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over chicken and serve immediately.
