Method

Preparation

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until light brown.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, and any optional herbs.
Serve over cooked chicken or your favorite comfort food.

Notes

If you have leftover gravy, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm it on the stove over low heat, whisking occasionally. If it thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or water.
