Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken stock (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter, whisking continuously to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the roux turns a light golden brown.
Gradually add the low sodium chicken stock to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and white pepper.
Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Be cautious with salt since the focus is on keeping it low sodium.
Remove from heat and, if desired, stir in freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve the low sodium chicken gravy warm over chicken or your favorite side dishes.
