Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted completely, gradually whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste (this is called a roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken stock while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Keep stirring until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and pour the gravy into a serving dish or directly over your favorite meal.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
