Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place garlic cloves in a small oven-safe dish and toss with olive oil to coat evenly. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until cloves are soft, fragrant, and lightly golden brown. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Combine the roasted garlic and heated chicken stock in a high-speed blender. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. (2 minutes)

06

Step

With the blender running on low, gradually add the cold butter pieces, one at a time, allowing each piece to emulsify fully into the sauce before adding the next. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, thyme, and oregano. Pulse briefly to incorporate the herbs, being careful not to over-blend, which can dull their flavor and color. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Transfer the sauce to a heatproof container and allow to cool slightly before refrigerating. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Reheat gently over low heat or in a double boiler when ready to serve, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Avoid boiling, as this may cause the sauce to separate.

For a richer flavor, consider using bone broth instead of chicken stock.
Adjust the amount of herbs to suit your personal preferences. Other herbs such as rosemary, chives, or tarragon would also be delicious additions.
If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can use a regular blender or an immersion blender. Just be sure to blend the sauce for a longer period to achieve a smooth consistency.
The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

    I didn't have fresh oregano, so I used dried, and it still turned out great.

  • Paolo Marquardt

    The sauce thickened up a bit too much when I reheated it, so I added a splash of chicken stock to thin it out.

  • Lora Bogisich

    My family loved this sauce on pasta. It's so easy to make and tastes like something from a fancy restaurant.

  • Kallie Runte

    Next time, I'm going to try using this sauce as a marinade for chicken.

  • Aimee Grady

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, and it was perfect!

    This recipe is a keeper! I've already made it twice this week.

    Absolutely divine! I used it on my steak last night, and it was the best steak I've ever made.

  • Lue Howell

    I was skeptical about roasting the garlic, but it made all the difference! So creamy and flavorful.
