Ingredients:

2 tbsp pan dripping from roasted
1 chicken, or unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 cup chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup lowfat or skim milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper*

Instructions:

1. In a medium-size sauce-pan heat the drippings over moderate heat.
Add the onion and celery and saute, stirring occaisionally, for five
munutes or until the vegetables are tender. Lower the heat, stir in
the flour and cook, stirring, 3 minutes more or until golden and
bubbling. (Watch it doesn't get to hot...this is the critical stage.)
Add the stock and bay leaf, return to a boild, then lower the heat
and simmer, sitrring frequently, for 10 minutes. Add the milk, salt,
and pepper and simmer for about 2 minutes or until heated through.
Remove the bay leaf. Makes a scant more than 8- half cup servings.
*Spice note: I like to use course ground black pepper (or restaurant
grind) in order to give the appearance of "Country Gravy" especially
when serving fried chicken and mashed potatoes, or with biscuits for
breakfast. Other times I use white pepper, for flavor without
appearance. Use your imagination and your preferences.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
