    In a bowl, combine white wine, chicken broth and juice of 1 lemon. Turn heat under pan to high, and deglaze with the broth mixture, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until liquid starts to reduce, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and whisk in 1 1/2 tblsp. butter. Season with salt and pepper.
