Notes
Use warm butter and whisk well to avoid lumps. Taste and adjust salt and pepper at the end. For more flavor, brown the shredded chicken briefly before adding to the gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth. For a hands-off approach, try a dump-and-go crockpot method for the chicken, then make the gravy separately.
