Creamy Chicken Gravy
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons celery salt
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Chicken and Rice
- To cook rice, bring water to boil (around a tablespoon each of margarine and salt may be added). Stir in rice. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes in covered kettle, stirring occasionally. Drain rice.
- Combine rice and gravy in electric roaster. If preparing a day ahead, this mixture may be partly cooled before adding meat. Stir in chopped meat and add broth as needed. Heat slowly, stir away from sides. Add broth if mixture becomes too thick. When cooking turkey or chicken, season generously with poultry seasoning.

- Melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in flour. Slowly stir in broth and milk. Cook over low heat. Cook 2 batches.
Notes
Cook, chop and freeze fowl ahead of time. Use the broth later in the casserole and gravy.
