1 mins
Pour chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the flavorful browned bits. (1 minute)
04 Step
Recipe View
3 mins
Continue to cook at a boil until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, typically 2 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.
05 Step

1 mins
Remove the skillet from heat. Whisk in the cold butter cubes, one or two at a time, until fully melted and the sauce is glossy and emulsified. Serve immediately.
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock.
Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to your preference. Some prefer a more pronounced mustard flavor.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of chicken stock or water to thin it out.
This sauce is best served immediately. If it sits for too long, the butter may separate. If this happens, gently reheat the sauce over low heat, whisking constantly, until it comes back together.

Apr 21, 2025I found that using unsalted butter allowed me to control the saltiness of the sauce better. Thanks for the tip!

Mar 26, 2025The sauce was absolutely delicious! I used a grainy Dijon mustard for extra texture and it was fantastic.
