This was very simple to make and my family really liked it. Made lots. I added mixed vegetables (frozen) and omitted the pimento because, although I bought it, it disappeared! Served over rice. Thanks!

My family loved this and requested it again the following week. I did add one small finely chopped onion, 2 finely chopped celery stalks and sautteed those with the bell pepper. I added poultry seasoning and used only chicken broth, omitting the water and mushroom liquid. I doubled the mushrooms and served this with rice. This was very easy to make and I made it easier by buying a cooked rotissiere chicken!

I used 2 frozen chicken leg quarters. Boiled those (for about 1/2 hr+) while I prepared the rest of the ingredients. Used fresh mushrooms and did not miss having the liquid. Cut back on gr. pepper and added leftover corn on the cob. Served over mashed potatotes but will definitely use chow mein noodles next time. Thanks for the tip Tennismom, that is how I remember this meal as a child. No pimento handy so I just sprinkled Paprika over each bowl. Both kids LOVED this, even the gr pepper hater! Definite comfort food and makes you feel like a real cook even though it is easy to make.

I added peas as suggested,and like the recipe. I was going to make the savory herb waffles on this site to use instead of rice, but got lazy! Next time I will though I think the combo might be good!

I read several chicken a la king recipes and I was looking for something basic but something I could tweak too. This was perfect for my tweaking. I used 1/2 green bell, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 sweet onion, and added frozen peas and corn. I also substituted chx broth instead of boullion. It was so YUMMY. Ultimate comfort food. I served it over rice and my roommate devoured it.

Great recipe! Instead of canned mushrooms, I used an 8 oz container of sliced baby bellas. Omitted the green peppers and replaced that with a bag of frozen mixed veges (corn, peas, carrots and green beans). Added a finely chopped medium onion and used two 4 oz jars of pimentos (with juice) finely chopped with food chopper. I used chicken broth in place of water and boullion. I had to add extra broth toward end because I let it cook a bit longer while waiting for rice to finish cooking. Will definitely be adding this to my regular dinner rotation!!

This is an okay recipe, in my opinion. I had a lot of trouble following it the way it's written -- very confusing. I made quite a few substitutions and I served this with puff pastry. A great use for leftover chicken!

I used the serving calculator and made this for 80. We served about 55 and had leftovers. I cut way down on the green pepper using three whole peppers. Did not add the pimentos. Served over biscuits with peas and carrots on the side along with a lettuce salad. It was a huge success.

This is a yummy recipe and was a hit at my house. I added frozen peas to the recipe at the end of the preparation and should have added them with the onions as they were still crunchy. Live and learn. It was still good though. :p

This is a great quick, simple and delicious meal. We replaced the mushrooms with chopped onions b/c I don't like them and used peas and carrots in place of peppers and pimentos. This is so fast and simple and can really be modified to fit any taste. I described it like chicken pot pie without the pie shell. We will be making this again, and trying with the peppers and pimentos.

Simple and Superb!! Even when I am missing ingredients like, pimento, I can still pull this together, not to mention when I am in a super rush I just eyeball measurements and its always great! I don't like green peppers so I never use them and instead of pimento I often get roasted red peppers from the anitpasto section in the grocery store. I also always use fresh mushrooms!

Excellent recipe but I did do a change and I hope it helps others, I did substitute leftover1 cup of chicken gravy for the 1/2 cup of butter, saute'ed carrots instead of the red peppers as I did not have any, added 1/2 cup of sherry added frozen peas and green onion at the last minute. The result was fantastic. I served it over three colored rotini noodles and a side of spinach salad, and spanikopita and dilled fresh tomatoes. The dinner party was a hit.

So Great! I had been using another recipe for Chicken a la King and this one has much more flavor! The only thing I will change for next time is omitting the canned mushrooms for fresh ones. My husband doesn't like the texture of mushrooms out of a can. But we loved this recipe! Thank you!

Quick and easy and very tasty! I used peas instead of green pepper and only a few TBS butter and flour because I wasn't making a whole lot. Also, using chicken broth was extra easy instead of plain water and bouillon powder. Oh, and a good dash of sherry.....traditional to ala king. Will make again when I can't think of anything else to do with leftover chicken.
