Does Anyone Know How To Make ';Chicken A La King'; Or Have A GOOD Recipe For It?

Back in the day there used to be these ';TopShelf'; or ';Hormel'; brand meals at the grocery store and they were meals that did not have to be kept in the 'fridge.They could be kept on the shelf. Well, there was one called Chicken A La King and it was awesome.They don't make it anymore.(This was back in the early 90's) It was in a creamy white sauce with chicken breast, mushrooms, red bell peppers, carrots, a little bit of onion maybe and white rice. Does anyone have a GOOD recipe for this? Many thanks to all who reply. God bless you.Does Anyone Know How To Make ';Chicken A La King'; Or Have A GOOD Recipe For It?
