Chicken Ala King Recipe

You can make this delicious chicken ala king recipe any time you want a warm, hearty meal and have it on the table in less than 30 minutes.

This is great served over mashed potatoes, rice, biscuits or even toast!

Here's what you are going to need:
1/2 cup butter
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups Chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken or turkey
1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained (**See the note at the bottom of the recipe)

Here's what you need to do:

In a large skillet heat the butter over medium high heat until foamy. Add the mushrooms and green peppers. Saute over until the green peppers are tender crisp.

Add the flour.

Stir and cook for a couple of minutes to cook out the "flour" taste.

Stir in the chicken broth and milk. Mix well. Continue stirring and cook until thick and bubbly. Add the salt and pepper.

Mix well.

Add the cooked chicken and pimento.

Mix well and enjoy this rich, hearty chicken ala king recipe. It's true comfort food!

**Note: If you don't have or don't care for pimentos, you can always use a small red bell pepper. Just saute it right along with the green peppers.

***I would like to thank one of my many facebook friends, for the suggestion to make this wonderful recipe. I hadn't had this since I was a kid. Honestly, I had forgotten all about it. It's a truly delicious recipe that brought back many wonderful memories and will be added to the menu on a regular basis. Thank you Andi!
