DH and I made this chicken dish for lunch today as I had some chicken, mushrooms, and carrots to use up. We liked it served over penne pasta. The sauce is more like a thick gravy. My carrots were still a little crunchy at the end, and DH said he didnt really care for them in the dish. However, it is an ingredient that could be easily omitted per individual taste. I put a generous helping of parmesan cheese on top, which in my opinion, improved the flavor. I liked the subtle flavor that the nutmeg lent to the chicken.
