Ingredients
3tbsUnsalted Butter
3tbsAll-Purpose Flour
2cLow-Sodium Chicken Broth
½teaspoonKosher Saltto taste
1teaspoonFreshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour. Whisk the butter and flour together to form a light roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for a minute to cook the flour.
Add the chicken broth. Whisk the broth into the roux constantly until the mixture is smooth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and simmer, whisking constantly, just until the gravy has thickened, for about 1 to 2 minutes. (Do not cook it too long, or the gravy will become super thick and too salty.)
Remove from the heat and add Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer to a gravy boat and serve immediately.
