Basic Chicken Pan Gravy

This silky, chicken-forward gravy is built from flavorful roast drippings thickened with flour for a smooth, comforting finish. Balanced with just salt and pepper, Basic Chicken Pan Gravy enhances mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or biscuits without overpowering them. Serve it warm alongside a Sunday roast or any weeknight chicken dinner for a classic touch.
