Oh my gosh! This was SO good!!!!! The wine and nutmeg added the perfect light flavor to the sauce. I subbed evaporated milk for the skim, because I wanted it richer. That made the nutmeg much less intense. I also don't own any non-stick pans so we used some olive oil to cook the chicken and just drained it off afterwards. Thank you so much for an amazing intro to French food!

This recipe was very good, but I didn't care much for the nutmeg flavor. I think next time I will either just use a pinch of nutmeg or leave it out altogether. Also, I didn't have thighs, so I used chicken breasts. Thanks for the great recipe!
