Chicken a la King I

SUBMITTED BY: Colleen PHOTO BY: FairyChick

"Easy and elegant chicken dish. It's a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey. Green pepper and red pimientos make this a pretty dish to serve at Christmas or anytime. Serve over cooked rice, toast, or noodles. Can be made ahead and reheated."
