Same recipe I've been using for 20 years. It's in the out of print Betty Crocker cookbook. (the good one) Our family loves it.

We made this tonight. We used fresh portabella mushrooms, used some of our homegrown red pepper with the green pepper, chicken stock instead of water and used half and half in place of milk as we had some we needed to use. Delicious.

Very good recipe. I haven't made chicken ala king in years and was looking for a refresher course. I used a 10oz bag of frozen peas and mushrooms (in place of the red pepper) and 1 can of mushroom stems and pieces. I cut the butter down to 6T (not much, I know, but 1/2 c just seemed like too much). I stirred 1 pod of condensed chicken stock into the hot water instead of bullion. I served over pastry puffs. de-LISH!

Husband and young son loved this. Served over potato rolls purchased at the bakery. Threw in just a few peas. Also NOTE: freezes excellently, so make some now, throw some in the freezer, have it again next week.

Didn't read all the reviews; however, as one reviewer stated, it was bland. The texture was just right, thick and creamy, but the flavor was lacking, as all eight of us agreed. I even used my own flavorful broth instead of water. Maybe needs onion, garlic...and something else? More herbs and seasonings...cream cheese?

Someone at work mentioned Chicken a la King and I just had to make it. She gave me a recipe and it was practically identical to this one. I couldn't resist using peas in mine and mushrooms were fresh not canned. I'll always remember how this wonderful meal sustained me during the week long power outage after the NE blizzard / Feb '13.

This was very good. I really enjoyed the pepper flavor as the green pepper flavor really seeped in. The pimento was very good as well. This made a LOT of sauce, so putting it over rice or noodles or something (as the author stated) is really a must. But the sauce is so good you could probably even eat it like a soup lol. Thanks!

Great recipe! only thing I changed was to add some sherry as another reviewer recommended. I put it over toast points and my family loved it. Thanks for sharing Colleen!

Served this over mashed potatoes and with corn and it was yummy! I added more mushrooms than the recipe calls for though.

I'd never had Chicken A La King before, but my husband kept asking for it, so I used this recipe. I have to say this was absolutely DELICIOUS! It is creamy, chickeny goodness with a delicate flavor. I read the past reviews and added 1 T of dry sherry (because a previous reviewer recommended it). I had to omit the mushrooms because I didn't have any in the house, but did add 1 cup of peas because my son loves them. I really appreciate the fact that there are only natural ingredients in the recipe. I'd definitely make it again.
