Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Milk (or milk alternative)
- 0.25 cup Cooked, shredded chicken (optional for a chunkier texture)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour. Whisk continuously to form a smooth paste.
Step 3
Gradually pour the chicken broth into the saucepan while whisking to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Cook the mixture on medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 6
Once the mixture reaches the desired thick consistency, stir in the shredded chicken (if using), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Use immediately in your recipe or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
