Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut off the tops of the jalapenos, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Finely chop the jalapenos and set aside.
-
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped jalapenos and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
-
Sprinkle the flour over the jalapenos and butter mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 2 minutes without burning the flour.
-
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to low and add the milk. Stir well and let the gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Remove from heat and let the gravy sit for a few minutes to cool slightly and thicken further.
-
Serve warm over roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits, or fries.
