Chicken gravy is a savory sauce made primarily from chicken drippings, broth, and a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch. Commonly seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme or parsley, it can also include butter, cream, or milk for extra richness. A staple in comfort food cuisine, chicken gravy is frequently paired with mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or biscuits. Its origins trace back to traditional European and American cooking as an efficient way to enhance flavor while using leftover juices from preparing poultry. While chicken gravy is flavorful and satisfying, its nutritional profile varies based on ingredients; versions with heavy cream and butter can be high in saturated fat, while lighter recipes using broth and minimal fat are lower in calories. Moderation is key, as added salt can contribute to sodium intake. Homemade options allow for better control of its nutritional value.
