Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken stock (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour to the butter, whisking continuously to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the roux turns a light golden brown.

Step 3

Gradually add the low sodium chicken stock to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and white pepper.

Step 5

Continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Be cautious with salt since the focus is on keeping it low sodium.

Step 7

Remove from heat and, if desired, stir in freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.

Step 8

Serve the low sodium chicken gravy warm over chicken or your favorite side dishes.
