3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
4. Add the milk and continue to whisk until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
5. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Remove the gravy from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
