  • 1 package sliced cremini mushrooms (8oz)
  • 1 ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup chicken broth (preferably low-sodium)
  • ½ cup fat-free half and half

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
