Kittencal's Creamy Chicken Gravy

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This should yield about 3 cups gravy, if you don't use it all you can freeze it, use a good-quality chicken broth for this"

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 3 cups (approx)

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 2 (10 ounce) cans chicken broth, undiluted
• 1 tablespoon oxo chicken bouillon powder (I just use 1 small package OXO bouillon powder)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pinch garlic powder (optional)
• 1 -2 teaspoon dried onion flakes (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors)
• black pepper (lots black pepper!)

directions

1. In a heavy saucepan melt butter over medium-high heat.
2. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute (do not let the flour brown).
3. Slowly add in broth, chicken bouillon powder, half and half or milk, pinch garlic powder (if using) and dryed onions; stir/whisk over medium heat until smooth and thickened (this should take about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add in lots black pepper and salt if desired.
5. Delicious!

As Always, whenever I need a recipe I look for Kittencal FIRST. This was a delicious recipe, I had to multiply it for a wedding I was catering, so I had to improvise a little bit because I need it about a gallon.. however it was a great guide to start me off with..

I wanted a classic (and-dare I say-yellow) creamy chicken gravy and this was perfect. Very reminiscent of classic diner type chicken gravy. Kittencal's recipes never let me down!

Fanastic! I have been trying to find a gravy recipe that I could eat without feeling all "blah" afterwards and this one did the trick! It's not heavy, great flavor and easy to make. You never fail me Kitten, I know I can count on you. :-D
