Kathy's Chicken Gravy


Kathy’s Chicken Gravy

Kathy W.
Yield: 6-8 servings


1-2 lb. Chicken breasts
1 tsp. minced garlic
Quartered onion (optional)
Peeled, quartered carrot (optional)
¼ c. flour
1 c. water

Put chicken breasts in pan, cover with water. Add garlic. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes (longer if chicken is frozen).  If you are using an onion, celery, and/or carrot, add them to simmer with chicken. Remove and shred chicken.  Strain broth. Add flour to about 1 c. water in a jar, shake it and stir quickly into chicken broth to thicken. (Amounts depend on how much chicken, how much broth.) Add Better than Bouillon for more color and flavor.


**Use the same directions for stewing chicken for chicken soup. Don't thicken it, but add chopped carrots, celery, onion and potato (or substitute noodles for potato).

Serve over mashed potatoes or baked potatoes.
