This recipe does not make very good leftovers.

1 cup low sodium chicken stock
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup water
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp light spread (like Promise Buttery Spread Light or Smart Balance Light)
2 tsp all purpose white flour

Place the chicken stock, salt, white wine, water, fresh rosemary and pepper in a stainless steel or non-reactive sauce pan over medium heat.

Bring to a boil and reduce the heat until the liquid is simmering. Cook for about 20 - 30 minutes until reduced by half.

In a second sauce pan melt the spread over low-medium heat and then add the flour. Whisk together over low-medium heat. After cooking for about two minutes strain the liquid to remove the rosemary into the pan with the roux whisking continuously.

As the gravy thickens reduce the heat to low and simmer for about ten minutes whisking frequently.
