Cook's Note: As we mentioned, this is a "Master" low carb gravy recipe and therefore is one that can be interchanged for other stock flavored gravies. Learn to make one and you can make several versions very easily. For great beef gravy, use condensed beef broth in place of chicken broth. For turkey gravy, see the link below.

Note: For usage and preferences, gravy may be thickened by whisking in 1/4 teaspoon more Thick-it-up™ or thinned by whisking in a couple tablespoons more water.

Variations:

This is your gravy so if you prefer an “herb flavored” chicken gravy, add 1 Tablespoon of your favorite herb blend like garlic, thyme, rosemary, or sage.
If you wish to replace the canned chicken broth with your own homemade stock, just be sure it is “reduced” which means you have boiled it down longer to create an undiluted and stronger, more sturdy broth, like Campbell’s is, and/or omit the added water in the recipe.
For Great Low Carb Turkey Gravy simply add a couple tablespoons of turkey drippings to this master chicken recipe.
