Gravy is a versatile and essential component in many meals, adding a rich, flavorful sauce that enhances the taste of your dishes. This recipe combines a few simple ingredients to create a delicious and savory chicken gravy, perfect for pouring over mashed potatoes, meats, or veggies.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tsp of butter over medium heat. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Once the butter is melted and starts to bubble, add the 1 tbsp of all-purpose white wheat flour. Stir constantly using a whisk or a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes smooth and the raw flour taste is cooked out, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the 2 cups of chicken gravy while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Keep stirring until the mixture is well combined and starts to thicken, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Add the 2 tbsp of vinegar and 2 tsp of brown sugar to the gravy mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently, letting the flavors meld together. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the 1 cup of light sour cream to the gravy.
- Stir continuously until the sour cream is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Make sure not to let the gravy boil after adding the sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Taste your gravy and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Start with a small amount and adjust as necessary.
- Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or vegetables.
Tips:
- Ensure the vinegar and brown sugar are well combined before adding them to the gravy to create a balanced sweetness and tangy flavor.
- Use a whisk to gradually blend the flour into the melted butter, creating a roux without lumps for a smooth gravy.
- Slowly incorporate the chicken gravy into the roux to avoid clumps; consistent stirring is key.
- Adding the sour cream at a lower temperature will help prevent it from curdling and ensure a creamy finish.
- Season with salt and pepper gradually, tasting as you go to get the desired flavor.
This chicken gravy is a wonderful addition to any meal, bringing a delectable blend of flavors to your table. With its creamy texture and balanced taste, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a go-to recipe for enhancing your culinary creations.
