Ingredients

• 2 cups low-fat milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over it and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. The roux should remain light in color and not brown.

Step 3

Slowly add the low-fat milk to the roux, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 4

Add the low-sodium chicken broth to the milk and flour mixture while continuing to whisk.

Step 5

Raise the heat to medium and cook the mixture, whisking frequently, until the gravy begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

Continue to cook for an additional minute or until the desired thickness is achieved.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately.
