Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted but not browned.
Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a smooth paste or a light golden roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, about 1/4 cup at a time, while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Once smooth, gradually add the remaining broth.
Stir in heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
Add Worcestershire sauce and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
