Chicken Gravy Over Crispy Fries
Treat yourself to this delightful Chicken Gravy draped over perfectly crispy French fries. This comforting dish pairs savory gravy with crunchy fries for a truly satisfying meal any time of day.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the French Fries:
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fry shapes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt, to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the French Fries
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil and a sprinkle of salt. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t crowded. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Gravy
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking until the mixture is lump-free. Continue cooking and stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Season the gravy with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
Step 3: Serve
Place the crispy French fries on a serving plate or platter. Generously ladle the warm chicken gravy over the fries, letting it soak in. Enjoy this hearty dish while it’s hot!
