Easy Homemade Chicken Gravy from Scratch (Without Drippings)
Description
The recipe simmers chicken broth seasoned with garlic and onion powders, imparting a mild aromatic base. Corn starch, dissolved in cold water, is whisked into the boiling broth, creating a silky, thickened sauce. Salt and pepper are adjusted to taste before serving. No meat drippings are required, making this gravy a simple alternative for quick preparation.
The finished gravy provides a smooth, savory sauce that complements roasted or grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables. It can be made in advance and refrigerated up to two weeks when properly covered.
This gravy can be made in larger quantities for gatherings and freezes well for later use. The texture depends on careful stirring to avoid lumps during thickening. Using either corn starch or flour allows flexibility based on available ingredients.
