Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh thyme
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the garlic powder and onion powder, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and whisk to combine.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
Sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking vigorously to avoid clumping.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The gravy will thicken further as it cools.
Serve over cooked chicken or turkey for a delicious keto-friendly meal.
