Reduce broth to 1 1/2 cups by boiling over high heat. Combine butter and flour, stirring well to make a smooth paste. Gradually add to boiling broth, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and add salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Pour gravy over chicken and biscuits. Garnish with pimiento strips, if desired.
