Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Slowly whisk in the all-purpose flour until it forms a smooth paste, cooking for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Broth

    Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continually whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish with Milk

    Stir in the milk and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite chicken or mashed potatoes.
