Collect chicken drippings from a roasted chicken and measure out 1/2 cup. If you have less, you can supplement with additional chicken broth to make up the difference.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the chicken drippings and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder and water to form a slurry.
Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the simmering broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Increase the heat to medium-high and continue to stir until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite Paleo dishes.
