I posted earlier that I had found an amazing sale on whole chickens at my local grocery store last week. Since I decided to make the chicken in my slow cooker for dinner one night, I decided to use my favorite chicken gravy recipe to go with it. Not only is it so simple to make, but it is packed with flavor and most of the ingredients are ones you already have on hand. I typically buy organic chicken broth to make things easy, however, I am going to be making my own soon, so stay tuned for that recipe to make this even better!!! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp butter
- 5 tbsp flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan.
- Add flour and blend thoroughly.
- Slowly add in the broth, salt, and pepper.
- Allow to simmer until mixture thickens.
- Serve!
Will try this
You’ll love this! Let me know what you think 🙂
I just made this! We have a big family so I had to multiply 4x. I used Sweet Cream Butter (salted)…. and cut the salt and pepper in half! It turned out perfect! Thank you for sharing such an easy gravy recipe 🙂
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it! My family loves it, and I love how simple it is, hehe!!
Just tried the gravy, it was so easy and delicious! Thank you!
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it! The gravy is a favorite in my house!
Used today for proportions for chicken pot pie gravy. Perfect – I omitted the salt because chicken broth is so salty. Hard to beat.
Yea! So glad you enjoyed it!!
Easy and very good. I am not good at gravy but I can make this thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Can you please tell me if i should use salted or unsalted butter.
Thank you
Unsalted is best in this recipe! Enjoy!!
I have always struggled with gravy but this recipe is very simple and really delicious!!
Yea!! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Should it be lumpy??
Nope, this gravy is smooth 🙂
Is there an alternative to the flour? I am looking for a gravy recipe that doesn’t use any grain
The only alternative I can think of is cornstarch as I have used it before in place of flour. I am not sure what else would work, sorry! If using cornstarch, cut in half what you would use of flour!
this is delish with cut up chicken mixed with it and served over waffles or toast bread and mash potatoes
GREAT idea!!! I will need to try that!
This is very similar to my homemade gravy. Another benefit to this recipe is when you get the butter flour rue mixed, you can use beef broth instead and make a yummy beef gravy!
Great thinking! Such a yummy gravy!! I use it on everything!
Are you able to make the gravy the night before? I’m think for the office potluck breakfast, this would go with the biscuits.
Absolutely! You’ll just reheat it before serving, but works great!
