Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add in flour and increase heat to medium. Whisk together and let cook for 2 minutes. The butter and flour mixture will become more golden and smell a bit nutty.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continously to combine.
- Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly while it heats. Just as it comes to a simmer, it will thicken up and should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Season by stirring in garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
