Gut Friendly Herb Chicken Gravy
Rich, silky gravy doesn't have to come loaded with inflammatory ingredients or gut-disrupting thickeners. This version builds deep, savory flavor from a base of coconut oil, fresh garlic, ginger, and turmeric — a combination that's as nourishing as it is aromatic. Chicken bone broth forms the heart of the sauce, bringing natural collagen and a full-bodied savoriness that store-bought gravies simply can't match. Coconut aminos and a splash of apple cider vinegar add just enough depth and brightness without any of the additives that can irritate a sensitive digestive system. Arrowroot starch steps in as the thickener here, delivering that glossy, spoon-coating consistency you want from a great gravy while keeping things grain-free and gentle on the gut. Fresh thyme and rosemary steep right into the broth, then get strained out for a smooth, elegant finish. Spoon it over roasted chicken, mashed root vegetables, or anything that deserves a serious upgrade.
