For you noobs who haven’t read our “about the blog” page, let me give you a quick recap. Three days into our marriage, Sarah and I made our first meal as domesticated folk: Chicken a la King. For this reason, Chicken a la King will always be special to us, and we’ve made it a tradition to make it every New Years Eve.
Chicken a la King
This Chicken a la King is the ultimate comfort dinner recipe! It's warm and creamy and is best served over toast.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 & 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup chicken stock/broth
- 1 lb cooked chicken chopped
- 2 oz jarred pimiento peppers chopped
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
-
Melt your butter in a large skillet. Add the bell pepper and onion and saute for about 4 minutes.
-
Add the mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the flour and whisk together. Cook for 1 minute.
-
Add the milk and chicken broth and stir well.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
-
Add the cooked chicken, pimiento peppers, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
-
Serve over toast or rice.
Sarah and I like to serve this stuff right over the top of some toast (French bread is best!). If you want to take a less easy route, you can serve it over rice or noodles.
