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!

September 30, 2015 at 4:39 pmI 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 🙂

September 24, 2018 at 11:08 amIs there an alternative to the flour? I am looking for a gravy recipe that doesn’t use any grain
Kristin
September 24, 2018 at 2:08 pmThe 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!

May 16, 2019 at 12:45 pmThis 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!
