Chicken A La King
Here’s my recipe for Chicken A La King perfect for a quick tasty dinner for the family. Creamy mushrooms and peppers mix well for a perfect dinner!
Sometimes I’m sitting around trying to think of what to make and I remember that I have some chicken. I like the flavor mixture of chicken with mushrooms, so I like to make chicken a la king. The creamy sauce adds a texture and a flavor to the chicken that really brings everything together. This will feed a family of 4.
I really love this recipe as I”m able to throw it together relatively quick and it tastes sooo good! A lot of the time I serve this with my pasta underneath in either spaghetti or bow tie pasta, but you can also just serve it by itself or with other side dishes.
One of the great things about this recipe is that I like to make a really large amount of it and just spread it on top of some pasta that I make with it. On each plate I’ll put a layer of pasta down and on top scoop a bunch of the Chicken A La King out of a serving pan that I’ll put on a hot plate. I’ll also put the extra pasta in a large serving bowl. This way if people want seconds they can just scoop some pasta on their plate and then scoop some of the chicken on second. Perfect because the sauce from the chicken a la king goes so well with the pasta.
