Simple Parmesan-White Wine Sauce

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon flour

1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth

½ cup white wine

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Black pepper to taste

In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to form a paste. While whisking constantly, slowly add the chicken broth and wine. Stir and heat until sauce is almost boiling, steamy and slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cheese and black pepper and whisk well. Remove from heat until ready to use.

Covered leftovers may be cooled and refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, measure out portions and heat in the microwave on high for 30-45 seconds.

Makes about 1 cups.
