Homemade chicken gravy

If you're like me then you like the real stuff. I'm not real big on packaged anything. I try my best to make everything as homemade as I can. Of course I am human and sometimes packaged or jarred is just easier. Gravy is one of the things that I always make myself. It's so easy to do. Almost as easy as opening up the powder packet. 

What you need

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 can chicken broth
salt
pepper
spices of your choice

First melt your butter over medium high heat. Add the flour and whisk till combined. Let the flour cook for a couple seconds so it doesn't have that raw flour taste. Add in whatever spices you like or just keep it simple with salt and pepper to taste. I like to add some garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Just about 1/2 a teaspoon of each. 

Add in your broth a little at a time whisking continuously until all is combined and let cook till it reaches your desired thickness.
