Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost, and reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
- If gravy is too thin, continue to add a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water until you reach the desired thickness. If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth.
