2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until fully melted and lightly bubbling.
2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture looks smooth and lightly golden.
3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to keep the gravy smooth.
4. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
5. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking often, until the gravy thickens to your preferred consistency.
6. Remove from the heat and serve warm over mashed potatoes, chicken, rice, biscuits, or stuffing.
Notes
Do not pour all the broth in at once, or the gravy can turn lumpy instead of smooth and silky.
