I've only made this recipe once, but we all liked it. Doesn't call
for green peppers, but no reason you couldn't add them. I use all
raw ingredients and steam them, but I'm sure variations using pre-
cooked items would be fine:

Chicken A La King

½ C. butter or margarine
2/3 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. white pepper
2 C. chicken broth
2 C. milk
3-4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¾ C. sliced carrots, raw
1 large potato, peeled and cubed, raw
1 C. fresh mushrooms, sliced
¼ - ½ C. onion, chopped
1¼ C. cooked peas
2-4 ounces sliced pimentos, drained (optional)

Steam chicken, carrots, and potatoes until cooked through
and tender, reserving chicken broth. Cut chicken into bite
sized cubes; add peas and keep warm. Add enough warm water
to reserved chicken broth to equal two cups. In small frying
pan, melt 1 T. butter or margarine. sauté mushrooms and onions
until tender. In saucepan, melt butter; whisk in flour, salt,
and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk and broth. Bring
to a boil over medium heat, then cook for 1 minute or until
thickened and bubbly. Combine with chicken and vegetables; serve
over toast points, biscuits, rice, noodles, or puff pastry. Can
substitute leftover turkey or ham for chicken.
