Lemon Butter Sauce for Chicken or Seafood


This is a great sauce to serve on top or on the side of chicken
 or seafood. 

1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon finely mince garlic
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium/fat free chicken broth
1 Lemon, zest and juice
1 teaspoon Italian Herb Seasoning Mix (I use McCormick)
salt  and back Pepper, to taste

Put olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan. Melt butter and add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute, then whisk in the flour forming a roux.
Gradually add in the chicken broth, whisking as you are pouring so as not to form lumps.
Next, add in the lemon zest and juice and Italian seasoning blend. Bring to a boil then allow to simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour over baked  or grilled chicken or seafood.  Top with thin lemon slices.
