Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat margarine
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sage
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the low-fat margarine over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted margarine, stirring constantly to form a smooth roux. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the roux is golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
Reduce the heat to low, then slowly add the skim milk, whisking to combine. This helps to build a creamy consistency.
Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, black pepper, and salt.
Continue to simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then remove from heat.
Serve warm over mashed potatoes, chicken, or your favorite hearty dish.
