We all thought this was a tasty weeknight meal. The only thing was I wasn't sure exactly how much chicken (i.e. lbs) or whether you used light or dark meat. I used three lg boneless, skinless breasts I pounded and cooked for only about 10 mins. Also for me, 4 Tablespoons of cornstarch turned my gravy into sludge. I scooped out about 1/2 and added another cup of water. Next time I would start with 2 Tbls and go from there. We did enjoy the flavor however and I liked that it could all be done on the stovetop. Thanks for posting!

Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup Tag game. This was very very good. I cut the recipe in half and used boneless chicken thighs and added the wine (optional). Served over noodles and we definately had enough fur lunch the next day. Thank you!

We loved this. I cut the recipe in half. I used 1/2 tsp of chopped onion and I didn't have any thyme. I also used an extra cup of chicken broth as we like a lot of gravy. I also didn't add the sour cream as we loved the gravy as is. I also didn't add the optional parsley. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them up. I served this over brown rice. We had a good bit left over so I gave the leftovers to my parents and they loved it too. This will be made again but next time I think I will try it over noodles as hubby isn't a huge rice fan. Loved that this was made with ingredients I normally have on hand. It was easy to make. Very yummy!
