I would recommend doubling the flour & using the extra flour mixed in with the milk mixture (mix it in a seperate cup/mug before adding to milk to prevent lumps), if you prefer a thicker cream sauce. Next time I'll probably add sliced mushrooms to the onion/garlic saute. You could also use shallots instead of regular onion. Lots of things you could tweak & add to this basic recipe. I also added an addtl tbsp butter after cooking the chicken. It saute the onion/garlic butter.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
