Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over it and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. The roux should remain light in color and not brown.
Slowly add the low-fat milk to the roux, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the low-sodium chicken broth to the milk and flour mixture while continuing to whisk.
Raise the heat to medium and cook the mixture, whisking frequently, until the gravy begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, adjusting to taste.
Continue to cook for an additional minute or until the desired thickness is achieved.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
