Creamy Liver and Mushroom Gravy image

I love liver and stroganoff. This a recipe I made up to take advantage of that. I use an all-purpose Gluten-free flour mix but it would work fine with any all-purpose flour if you are not on a Gluten free diet.

This is simple to make and so good! I have made it several times and plan on making it on a regular basis, we really enjoyed this chicken dish. Although it does not say to, I deglazed the pan with about 1/4 cup dry white wine after I browned the cutlets and transfered them to a plate, you can also deglaze with dry vermouth. If you don't care for garlic then leave it out.
