Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted completely, gradually whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste (this is called a roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the chicken stock while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Keep stirring until well combined.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 6
Remove from heat and pour the gravy into a serving dish or directly over your favorite meal.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
