At the end add the minced garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds.

Add all-purpose flour and combine with the chicken and vegetables. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes leaving in all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Then turn the heat to low and add chicken stock and heavy cream and stir continuously while bringing to a simmer.
