Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups White or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to sizzle.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.

Step 4

Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and stir in the dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, cornstarch, and cold water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

Step 6

Slowly pour the milk-cornstarch mixture into the skillet while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and, if desired, garnish the sauce with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm over pasta, grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, or rice. Enjoy!
