  3. Shred chicken with 2 forks and leave in the slow cooker on Low.

  4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk chicken broth into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until gravy thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Combine gravy and shredded chicken and serve.
