What a delicious easy recipe. Love the Thyme in the sauce over the chicken. DH throughly enjoyed it. Served it with spinach noodles and a green salad. What a meal for a week night. Thank you Ellie for sharing, Recipe is a real Keeper.

Yummy!! Make it all the time. Like Amy, I browned the chicken first. I started using fat free evaporated milk instead of half and half to save some calories and I think it is just as good! -
Made this for dinner last night and served over egg noodles. DD asked if we had any w/o sauce. DH ate his w/o comment but after dinner asked if we could just throw out the leftover. When I asked if anyone would it eat it, I didn't get a single "yes" so in the trash it went. I guess it just isn't the recipe for us. Sorry. -
Great weeknight meal. I browned the chicken first, removed from pan, and sauted onions, etc. in the same pan. Adds a nice flavor. -
I thought the recipe title was "cheesy" but this really is an easy way to make weeknight chicken special. Definately not your average cream of chicken sauce. I Served it with a boxed rice mix.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
