Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Brown the coated quail on all sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the browned quail to an ungreased 2-1/2-quart baking dish.
-
In the same skillet with the drippings, sauté sliced mushrooms until tender and browned.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup flour over the mushrooms and stir to form a smooth paste.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth and thyme, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring until the gravy thickens.
