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!

Yields: 4-6 Servings

We often make this after thanksgiving.
Clean the turkey carcass,
dice up the dark meat, and turkey legs.
Then freeze in zip-loc bags.


Saute diced onion, green pepper, and celery.
stir in a can of mushroom soup,
and enough milk to make a gravy.
toss in a handful of frozen peas,
add diced chicken ( or diced turkey )

Simmer a bit.....
Serve over slices of toast.

Looks great! The ingredients are pretty much the same, but we used to make
this as a great way to use up the mountains of turkey after Christmas.
Basically the same recipe but substitute the chicken and broth for turkey
and the turkey stock. Served with white rice, rather than biscuits it's
awesome!

Thanks! Turkey would certainly be just as good. We definitely need
recipes to help use all that leftover holiday bird!

Bicsuits are traditional, followed by toast points, but rice or noodles
are both great alternatives.

Wayne , I bet this is delicious. Too good for leftover chicken, I'm going to
get that free range hen out of the freezer and go for it!

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.

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.

Richard, it's sure to be wonderful with a freshly done hen! I do the same
when I make this for company. The chicken is best if it hasn't been
refrigerated before being incorporated into the dish.

'Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
