Cream of Chicken Gravy is a comforting and versatile sauce made primarily from chicken broth, heavy cream, butter, and flour, often seasoned with spices like salt, pepper, and garlic. This rich, savory gravy has its roots in American cuisine, commonly served over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or poultry dishes. Its creamy texture and hearty flavor make it a favorite comfort food, but it’s worth noting its nutritional content. While it provides protein from the chicken base, the heavy cream and butter contribute to its high fat content, and the flour adds carbohydrates, making this indulgent gravy relatively caloric. Although not typically considered a health-conscious choice, it can provide a source of energy in moderation and is often enjoyed in special meals or holidays. For those seeking lighter options, modifications with lower-fat dairy or alternative thickeners can help preserve its flavor while reducing fat content.
