Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.75 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 0.5 tsp beef bouillon powder
- 0.75 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp fine salt adjust to taste
- 2 tbsp pan drippings optional, from fried chicken or roast
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Warm the chicken and beef broths in a saucepan until steaming; keep over low heat.
- Whisk in the chicken and beef bouillon until dissolved, then keep the broth hot.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in flour to form a smooth roux. Cook, stirring, until light golden, 4–6 minutes.
- Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper; cook 30 seconds.
- Slowly whisk in the hot broth, a splash at a time, until lump-free and combined.
- Simmer gently, whisking often, until thick and silky, 5–8 minutes.
- Season with salt. Stir in pan drippings if using. Rest 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra richness, whisk in a spoonful of cream or a pat of butter at the end. Try a dash of poultry seasoning or a pinch of ground sage for a classic fried-chicken flavor. Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge; rewarm gently with a splash of broth.
