Hey there! For a healthier crinkle chicken gravy, you can try using Greek yogurt or a plant-based milk instead of heavy cream for a creamy texture without the extra calories. Swapping out some of the butter for olive oil or a little mashed avocado adds good fats while keeping things rich. And if you're watching carbs, you can thicken the gravy with cornstarch or whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. Enjoy your lightened-up gravy without missing out on any flavor! 🍽

I use a few techniques to make a healthier crinkle chicken gravy. One is replacing half of the butter or oil with a low-sodium chicken broth or adding just enough to get the flour cooked for the roux. Another trick is adding veggies like cauliflower or carrots. Including them naturally thickens the gravy and adds nutrients.
