Preparation

Step 1

1. Season chicken. Cook 4 mins/side in sprayed skillet, or until lightly browned. Remove from pan.

2. Saute carrot-garlic in oil 2 mins. Add mushrooms, cook 5 mins, or until veggies are tender.

3. Sprinkle with flour, saute 2 mins, stirring constantly. Add broth and thyme, bring to a boil, cook until slightly thick.

4. Return chicken. Cover and simmer 10 mins, or until chicken is done.

Notes: this was certainly easy - and good. Sauce was just sort of so-so - not as creamy as I'd hoped. Served with roasted asparagus and brown rice.
