Sorry, kili, but "cream of whatever" soup does not make Chicken a la
King.

"Classic Chicken A La King"

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 Tbsp. flour
1-1/4 cups milk
1 can (10-1/2 oz.) chicken broth
2 egg yolks, beaten
2 cups cut up cooked chicken
1 jar (2-oz.) pimento, drained and diced
2 Tbsp sherry
Dash each salt, pepper and cayenne

Saute mushrooms, celery, green pepper and onion in butter
in a large saucepan until tender. Stir in flour until smooth.
Add milk and broth gradually, stirring constantly. Heat and stir
until bubbly. Stir several spoonfuls of the hot broth into the
beaten eggs; return all to the saucepan of broth. Heat and stir over
medium heat until slightly thickened. Stir in remaining
ingredients and heat through

Serve over biscuits!
