I have a recipe for a lemon chardonnay butter sauce, but my BF is Muslim so he can’t have anything prepared with wine. The recipes calls for butter, chardonnay, cream, lemon and some other spices…is their something i could substitute for chardonnay that would make a good sauce? It is going to go on top of a chicken breast that has been dipped in panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese…
I would use chicken stock instead and maybe increase the lemon juice a bit – not a ton, but a bit. It sounds delicious!!!
Good luck, I am sure he will enjoy it no matter what.

Don’t know if you could substitute a little chicken broth for the chardonnay – that’s all I can think of besides water.

The alcohol is only used at the end to finish the sauce, but it is an essential ingredient. A non alcoholic liquid will not work. Use fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme. You have to find flavor for your sauce.

1/2 cup clam juice
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced shallots
1/2 bay leaf
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp flour
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Reduce first six ingredients (clam juice, sherry, cream, garlic, shallots, bay leaf) by half in a small saucepan.
2 In a separate saucepan (1-qt minimum) prepare the roux. Heat one tablespoon of butter in the saucepan on medium heat until it is foamy. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring a couple of minutes with a metal whisk until well mixed (but not browned).
3 Slowly add the reduced mixture to the roux, stirring quickly to incorporate. When you first add some of the mixture, the roux will bubble up. Just keep adding the mixture and keep whisking to incorporate.
4 Lower the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time. Add lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Add some more clam stock if the sauce is too thick.

Maybe you could make a separate pot and boil the wine until it reduces and the alcohol from it is completely evaporated. Then add that to the sauce!
If not, white grape juice works well!

Alcohol does not completely evaporate and as a Muslim your friend should not consume any meals made with alcohol. You should either leave it out or substitute it with apple juice. I think it is great that you are considering the dietary needs of your friend.
