Chicken a la King

I copied this one out of a friend's book so many moons ago that I can't remember where it's from, but it's so decadently fattening that I can't resist pigging out now and then. I usually serve with rice, but I suppose it would go with noodles or new potatoes just as well.

Hello Joan Edington, what a lovely decadent dish! Don't you love people who make a recipe telling you the changes they made? Well here goes: added more chicken, more mushrooms, & spring green peas. I didn't use the green peppers and other than that — no changes were made and the meal was delicious! Served it on English Muffin toasts. The flavors meld quite nicely and afforded us a very "luscious" change. Thanks for sharing, Diane :=)

    Really tasty and very easy to make. Served with boiled rice and thought it complimented well. All my housemates loved it. Improvised slightly on the amount of ingredients as I was serving five and didnt think the amounts really correlated with a greater number. Also mixed together a couple of the steps listed. Couple of additions I made - after melting the butter I put a spoonful of garlic in and before adding the milk I put a dash of sherry in. Also didn't use canned pimiento as I couldn't find it in my loca store. Overall amazing receipe, will use again.

    Very, very good! As an added chicken flavor I added half a can of Butter Ball Chicken Broth, along with a handful of frozen peas, and served it over biscuits.

    It is a great meal I put it with noodles and it is nice and creamy and a good taste as well. It was easy to make. All you need is a picture of it to go with it.
