- ¼ cup salted butter

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

- Quickly whisk until you have a paste-like mixture.
- Slowly add the chicken bouillon while whisking.
- Keep mixing and cooking until you have reached the desired thickness.

Notes
If your chicken bouillon was in the refrigerator, put it in the microwave for a few seconds. It should be at least at room temperature, if not hotter. Using a warm to hot chicken bouillon or broth will make for a smoother gravy and avoid lumps.
If you need to make the gravy ahead of time, it will thicken up as it cools down. Just rewarm it with a splash of broth or bouillon.
You can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It will also freeze well for up to 2 months.
