Easy Chicken Gravy Recipe
Description
The Easy Chicken Gravy Recipe starts by melting butter and blending in flour to form a roux, which thickens the sauce. Chicken broth gradually added to this base, along with salt and pepper, simmers until it reaches a smooth, consistent texture. This method yields a creamy gravy without lumps, featuring the subtle flavor of chicken broth enhanced slightly by seasoning.
Its mild, rich taste makes it an ideal accompaniment for roasted chicken or turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. The gravy's straightforward preparation without extra herbs or dashes allows the poultry flavor to stand out without competing complexities.
Because the recipe uses simple pantry ingredients, it can be made quickly from scratch whenever a smooth, classic gravy is needed to enhance a meal. Stirring slowly while adding broth ensures proper thickening and avoids clumping.

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan.
