Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the chicken broth to the saucepan and stir until combined with the melted butter.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cream cheese to the saucepan, breaking it into smaller pieces. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and fully combined into the mixture.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the seasonings into the gravy to distribute evenly.
To thicken the gravy, sprinkle xanthan gum over the surface gradually while continuously whisking to prevent clumping.
Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Once the gravy has reached your desired thickness, remove it from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning to preference.
Serve hot over your favorite low-carb dishes or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
