  • 8 oz fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and sauté diced chicken until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add onions, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms to the skillet; sauté until softened (around 5 minutes).
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir continuously for about 2 minutes until golden.
  5. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring until the mixture is smooth; then add cream, thyme, and parsley. Stir until thickened.
