Slice mushrooms. In a large saucepan melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, thyme, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Cook until tender about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in 1/4 C flour into the mushrooms and cook 1 minute. Gradually stir in reserved chicken-cooking liquid, remaining 1 1/4 C stock and the cream. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute, stirring all the while. Remove from heat, pour off 1 1/2 Cups sauce and reserve. Chop scallions. Stir chicken, carrots, scallions, and parsley into the remaining sauce.

bake for 35 minutes
The 1 1/2 sauce you reserved is gravy for the tops if you would like
