For the Gravy
- While the chicken and stuffing are baking, prepare the gravy. Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in flour.
- Gradually whisk in broth until completely incorporated. Stir in bouillon cube, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve over chicken and stuffing.
Notes
- Sometimes I like to add dried cranberries to the stuffing - delicious!
