Ingredients

Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
2 cups of chicken broth
1/4 cup of heavy cream

Instructions

In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter, stirring constantly to form a smooth paste. Continue stirring for about 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continuing to stir. This will help prevent lumps from forming.
Add the garlic powder and onion powder to the saucepan, stirring well to incorporate the flavors into the gravy.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the gravy to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let the gravy cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality chicken broth: Since the chicken broth is the base of the gravy, using a high-quality broth will significantly improve the overall taste.
Constantly stir the flour and butter mixture: This will help prevent the flour from clumping and achieve a smooth consistency.
Adjust the thickness: If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can use less chicken broth or cook it for a longer time to reduce and concentrate the flavors. Conversely, if you like a thinner gravy, you can add more chicken broth or cream.
Taste and adjust seasoning: Remember to taste the gravy and adjust the salt, pepper, and other seasonings according to your preference.
Strain the gravy if desired: If you prefer a smooth and silky texture without any lumps, you can strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
