Goal: 6 out of 100
At least twice a month, on my way home from Flybarre I stop at Whole Foods for their amazing roasted chicken. Growing up my dad made roasted chicken or turkey all the time. These were two of my favorite meals because I loved the gravy that went with it. Since space is limited and at a premium in my apartment, I can’t store a roasting pan or rotisserie oven, so making my own roasted chicken isn’t a possibility, which means there are no drippings to make gravy. Usually when I purchase my roasted chicken from Whole Foods, I eat the chicken dry. Tonight I was craving gravy and I didn’t want to purchase a pre-made packet (just not for me), so I attempted to make my own gravy concoction and it was amazing. Before my husband could come home I had finished almost all of it.
Truffled Chicken Gravy
1 tablespoon of butter
1 1/4 tablespoons of flour
1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon of browning sauce
1/2 tablespoon of truffle oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small pot. In a separate pot heat up 1 cup of chicken broth.
Step 2: When the butter begins to bubble slowly mix in 1 1/4 tablespoons of flour. Using a whisk, whisk the butter and flour together.
This picture came from google images and was not taken by myself but this gives you a good idea of the color of the roux.
Step 3: Whisk until the roux (butter and flour mixture) turns a hazelnut color.
Step 4: In stages, slowly whisk in chicken broth into the roux. About a 1/4 of a cup should be mixed in at a time.
Step 5: Add browning sauce and truffle oil to the pot and whisk all the ingredients together.
Step 6: Let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes and then serve!!!
