"Don't be put off by the length of this list of ingredients, the prep and cooking method is one of the easiest to pull together once you've read through the steps. Add more chicken broth if you prefer a looser gravy, and if your gravy is too thin, add 1 tablespoon of flour to ¼ cup of the sauce in a small bowl, mix well, then whisk into the gravy to thicken it...."
