Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup medium or dry sherry or apple juice
  • 1 1/2 cups Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook and stir shallots in butter 7 to 10 minutes or until butter and shallots are deep golden brown. Stir in flour, salt, thyme and pepper. Continue to cook and stir 1 minute.
  • 2
    Gradually stir in sherry and chicken broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat to low. Cook and stir about 5 minutes longer or until gravy is thickened and flavors are blended.

  • The flavor from this drippings-free gravy is developed by browning the butter and shallots. Allow the shallots to become deep golden brown for optimal flavor.
  • For darker gravy, add a few drops of browning and seasoning sauce with the chicken broth.
