Step 1

Put chicken, broth, onions, carrots, parsley, bay leaf and salt and pepper in a large covered oven-proof pan that can also be cooked on the stove top.

Place in 350 degree preheated oven (covered) and cook for approx 1-1/2 - 2 hours, until the chicken is tender.

Remove chicken when done and set aside to cool with carrots and onions.

Put the pot on top of the stove and heat until boiling. Mix butter or margarine with the flour and drop by spoonfuls into the boiling broth until broth thickens. Add cream, mushrooms, thyme and paprika to sauce. Return chicken and vegetables to pan and put back in oven until it thickens and is heated through.
