- 1. In a 1 quart saucepan, pour in the cold water. Add remaining ingredients and whisk.
- 2. Place pan on the stove, on medium heat, and constantly stir until gravy comes to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and serve.
- 3. Makes 2 cups (8 "1/4 cup" servings) This is great on rice, potatoes, stuffing or anything you like gravy on.
- 4. * NOTE: Make sure the water is cold when you start. If you add dry corn starch to warm liquids, you end up with big clumps of goo and not a smooth gravy. At this point it can't be saved, dump it out and start over.
Tips:
- To reduce the fat content even further, use 1% or skim milk instead of 2% milk.
- If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can use water instead. Just add a little more salt and pepper to taste.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the gravy. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- If you want a thicker gravy, add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the gravy and whisk constantly until thickened.
- Serve the gravy hot over your favorite chicken dishes.
