Hello Valentina, I want to give this recipe a try but not sure if it will still taste good with out the mushrooms! Hubby isn’t the biggest fan of mushrooms!

Liana, the mushrooms do add a LOT of flavor but my kids don’t do mushrooms either and it’s just as wonderful. Just add a little more chicken. ENJOY!

Why are we gently boiling 2C stock & 1.5C water? I see where the reserved 1/3C used in the recipe. What about the other 2.75C of liquid. When is this used and what for?
I’ve read the recipe multiple times, so I don’t think I’m missing it.
Does it go in after the flour?

Hi, Michelle. In step 3, we add all the liquid to a pot (reserving the 1/2 cup), that becomes the base of the gravy. As you saute the remaining ingredients, you add them to the boiling liquid, hope that helps :), sorry if it was worded wrong. Enjoy.
