Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour*
- 2 cups chicken broth* or 2 cups hot water plus 2 tsp chicken bouillon/2 cubes
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk together the water and flour in a small bowl or glass measuring cup, making sure there are no lumps and no flour sticking to the bottom. Set this thickening slurry aside until needed.
- Pour chicken broth into a medium sauce pan, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the onion powder, whisking ’til dissolved, and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Whisk your slurry mixture into the boiling broth, stirring constantly ’til the gravy thickens. It should start to thicken right away, but if for some reason your gravy is too thin, you can whisk another tablespoon of flour into a tablespoon water (making another slurry), and add that to your gravy to help it thicken up more.
- Add your salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve the warm chicken gravy with your dinner.
Notes
*You can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free flour instead.
*You can make your own chicken broth with chicken bouillon. To make the 2 cups of chicken broth from bouillon, whisk 2 tsp bouillon (or 2 cubes) into 2 cups hot water, then use as your chicken broth.
How do you store leftover chicken gravy?
Store leftover chicken gravy in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop in a sauce pan, stirring frequently until hot. Or microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between each cycle 'til heated. If the gravy is really thick after cooling, you may need to add a splash of warm broth or water to thin it out.
