Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups skim milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the skim milk, chicken broth, and flour until smooth and there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the gravy starts to thicken, reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir and let it simmer for another 2 minutes to ensure the flour is fully cooked.
Add the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme to the gravy. Stir well to combine.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your taste preferences.
Once seasoned to your liking, remove the gravy from heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly and thicken further.
Serve warm over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or your favorite dish. Enjoy!
