few celery leaves, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 cup sliced mushrooms

¼ cup butter

Cover the bottom of a greased shallow bake dish with sliced ham. Sprinkle with savory and celery leaves. Add chicken and mushrooms. Pour wine in the skillet and scrape bottom to dissolve brown bits. Mix flour (remaining in the bag) with the sour cream. Have cream at room temp. and mix slowly with flour until smooth.
