Nightshade Free Herb Chicken Gravy
Rich, savory gravy is one of those comfort-food staples that can feel completely off the table once you start avoiding nightshades — most store-bought versions and restaurant gravies sneak in tomato, paprika, or other hidden offenders. This one sidesteps all of that without sacrificing a single drop of depth. Coconut oil, garlic, ginger, and turmeric build a warm, aromatic base, while chicken bone broth, fresh thyme, and rosemary simmer together into something that smells absolutely incredible. Coconut aminos and a splash of apple cider vinegar add that savory, slightly tangy complexity you'd normally expect from a much longer ingredient list. Arrowroot starch does the thickening work here instead of flour, giving you a glossy, silky pour that clings beautifully to whatever is underneath it. The final strain through a fine-mesh sieve makes it look genuinely restaurant-worthy, and a handful of fresh parsley on top seals the deal. Whether you're spooning it over roasted chicken, mashed root vegetables, or a simple grain, this gravy earns a permanent spot in the rotation.
