What it is
This is a dry powder mix designed to create a savory chicken-flavored gravy. It is made from a blend of starches, flavorings, and seasonings. When mixed with water and heated, it thickens to form a smooth, rich sauce. It is a convenient way to add a classic gravy flavor to various dishes without starting from scratch. The small individual packet is portioned for a single use.
