- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

- 2. Add white wine and vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and salt to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is nearly evaporated and onions are tender and a rich brown, 10 to 20 minutes.
