An Easy Chicken A La King Recipe
This recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey. Mom was an expert at making left-overs a feast in themselves. Or you can boil 5 pounds of stewing chicken in your stainless steel cookware with some salt, onion, celery and carrot; cool it then cut chicken into medium to small pieces (removing the onion, celery and carrot pieces before cutting up the chicken)
You can make the sauce from the chicken broth from above or buy chicken broth if using left overs chicken or turkey.
ingredients:
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
6 TBS flour
2 TBS butter
1 1/2 cups milk
salt to taste
1 TBS minced onion
2 sprigs of parsley
pepper to taste
2 pimentos chopped (or more, like small can)
1 green pepper grated
1 can sliced mushrooms or fresh
2 TBS sherry wine(or more)
Minse parsley if you wish. Cook sauce first and then combine pieces of chicken or turkey with the sauce and simmer in an appropriate pot from your stainless steel cookware set. serve with rice, baking powder bisquits or patty shells from the bakery. A nice dry white wine would be nice along with a fresh salad. Enjoy.
