This homemade chicken gravy combines the richness of chicken drippings with the fresh aroma of herbs, creating a flavorful and comforting sauce perfect for any poultry dish.
Inspired by classic American gravies with a twist of fresh herbs to elevate the traditional flavor.
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir in the all-purpose flour, whisking continuously to form a roux, and cook for about 2 minutes until light brown.
3. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, making sure to eliminate any lumps.
4. Add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2 minutes until the gravy is smooth and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Store the gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
