"You don’t have to have 4 cups of pan drippings to make this gravy just mix chicken broth with drippings to make the 4 cups or it may be made with only chicken broth, take a look at note on the bottom of the recipe, this may be made slightly ahead and kept uncovered on top of the stove until ready to serve just heat over low heat and whisk before using, and any leftovers freeze very well and amounts may be reduced to half or doubled. To make this gravy using all chicken broth prepare as directed using 4 cups low sodium chicken broth and 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder or or you may add in low sodium chicken broth omitting bouillon powder to pan drippings to make up 4 cups. This recipe will yield about 5 cups"
