Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in chicken broth, followed by milk or cream.
Cook until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
