Chicken Ala King Recipe (2)

Chicken Ala King served on Biscuits.

When it starts to get cold here in Minnesota where I live, cravings for warm comfort food begin. I was craving Chicken Ala King as I hadn’t had it in years.

I had Chicken Breast on hand that I had purchased from the market and some fresh and frozen veggies. I also had a package of those biscuits from the dairy case so I decided to use them, but you certainly can make your own Biscuits prior to making this recipe, which will definitely fill your house with wonderful aromas.

CHICKEN ALA KING 

Ingredients:

  • 3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1 Medium Green Pepper, diced (about 1 Cup)
  • 1 & 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 & 1/4 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 (4 oz.) Jar Diced Pimentos
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas, thawed
  • 1 Cup Button Mushrooms, diced
  • 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Red Onion, diced
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Montreal Chicken Seasoning
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Biscuits (I used Grand Biscuits from the dairy case or you can bake your own from scratch)

Chicken Ala King Recipe

Directions:

1. Bake Biscuits according to package directions. While they are baking you can prepare the Chicken Ala King. Of course if you are really ambitious, and have the time, you can make Biscuits from scratch prior to making this dish.

2. Sprinkle the Montreal Chicken Seasoning over the Chicken pieces. Drizzle the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Chicken and cook until done, then remove the Chicken pieces and set aside.

3. Reduce the heat under your skillet to low. Add the Butter to the skillet and once the butter has melted, add the Onions and Green Pepper and increase the heat to medium. Cook until tender. Next add in the Mushrooms. The Mushrooms will cook quickly so stir often.

4. Next stir in the Flour to the Veggie mixture.

5. Slowly stir in the Chicken Broth and the Heavy Cream, stirring constantly. Sprinkle in the Garlic Powder and give several turns of the pepper mill over all. Continue to cook over medium heat until the Sauce is thick.

6. Add the Chicken back into the Sauce, continue to stir and heat to boiling. Cover reduce the heat to low and let the Sauce simmer for about 4-5 minutes.

7. Add in the Pimentos and Peas then give the pepper mill a few good turns over all. Stir well for 1-2 minutes to ensure the Pimentos and Peas are incorporated in the Sauce.

8. Slice your Biscuits in half then spoon the Chicken Ala King mixture over the bottom side of the Biscuit then place the top of the Biscuit on top of the Chicken Ala King mixture. You could also serve this open face if you wish.
