The other night Studhubs and I had some newish friends over for dinner. I wanted to make something nice, but not too fussy. Oh, and I wanted it ready to eat in under 20 minutes. That's impossible you say! I respond with no, not when you have my Easy Chicken a la King Recipe in your back pocket!
It sounds super fancy, but it couldn't be easier and on the table in mere minutes! I know you're gonna love this one so...
Let's Get Started!
- 2 cups Chicken, fully cooked
- 8 oz package of Mushrooms, sliced
- 16 oz Heavy Cream
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 1/2 Salted Butter
- 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 cup Pimentos
- 1 cup Frozen Peas
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
To begin place the butter in a pan and melt.
When the butter has melted add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes until golden brown.
Now add the chicken broth to the pan...
along with the heavy cream.
Bring to a simmer.
When the broth and heavy cream have come to a simmer, you will combine the cornstarch with some water to create a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the cream and broth mixture.
Let simmer until the sauce thickens like a gravy, stirring occasionally.
Now add the precooked chicken.
*I always like to have to cooked chicken in my freezer for busy nights like this. I just cooked this up in my instant pot with a cup of chicken broth on MANUAL for 30 minutes the day before.*
Add the pimentos.
And finally, add the frozen peas.
Stir everything together and simmer just long enough to heat the chicken and peas through.
Serve this Easy Chicken a la King Recipes over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes and you have a meal that is nice enough to serve any guest or on a Tuesday. No matter what the occasion I know you and your family are going to love it so get in the kitchen and give it a try tonight!
And as always...
