Notes
- You can substitute chicken stock with low-sodium broth to reduce salt content.
- For thicker gravy, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
