This is a twist on the traditional "Chicken a la King" to serve for meatless meals, such as Friday nights. This is another quick and easy meal.

Stir in flour; add remaining ingredients, except oysters and toast. Simmer until thick. Add oysters; simmer until heated through. Serve on toast. Makes 4 servings.
