Ingredients

    3 chicken thighs and legs
    3 tbs of chicken boullion (perfer paste style)
    6 cups water
    10 lg baby carrots, sliced
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    1/2 lg white onion, chopped
    3 bay leaves, tyme, rosemary, oregano and basil
    10 to 12 tbs of flour
    2 cups of potato water



Tips

I make mashed potatos with this meal and have also made it to go over rice. If you perfer rice, 2 cups of tap water will replace the potato water.


Directions

cook chicken, vegetables and your favorite spices in 6 cups water for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until chicken is done. remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Add 3/4 cup of flour (or 10-12 tbs) to 2 cups of plain water or potato water and wisk briskly so that no lumps remain. Add chicken boullion or paste to broth and stir till desolved. Add flour mixture to boiling chicken broth, stirring the entire time until thickened. Remove skin and bone from chicken and add to gravy. On very low heat cook for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently. If the gravy is too thick, slowly add milk until right consistancy.
