I have had this saved for a long time and finally made it tonight. We really enjoyed this very yummy chicken dish. It is neither gluey nor gummy but a perfectly smooth and rich sauce even with 1% millk. It could certainly be thinned with a bit more milk if one prefers a runnier sauce. So easy, so good. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This recipe did not work for me at all, and I followed it precisely as written. My apologies for giving such a negative review, but what else can I do when I threw out the food without serving it? I was really nervous about the two tablespoons of flour, and as it turned out, with good reason. The sauce was so gummy and gluey it was inedible. Again, sorry for the negativity, but this didn't work for me at all. If I were to try it again (doubtful) I would definitely scale back the flour. Two TBS is way to much for one cup of milk!

Tweaked this dish a bit and it was delicious! Warmed up a little milk in a saucepan and whisked the flour in it ( I only used 1 Tbsp) as opposed to adding directly to mushrooms, thus avoiding the clumping and it becoming gooey. Also added some white wine and chicken broth. Let the thyme sort of “cook” a little all by itself in middle of pan before mixing with the veggies. Your spices will not taste “raw or green” if you do this.

It may just be personal tastes but we weren't really that in love with this dish. For all the effort and ingredients we were expecting a bit more flavor. I think it needs maybe more spice or instead of milk maybe use some chicken stock and or wine. My husband said it had too much thyme as well, but I thought that amount was ok. All in all an ok dish, just not something we would probably make again. Sorry!
