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 that made to not be refridgerated and 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?
Take left over cooked chicken (remove from bone and chop up) or can use canned white meat chicken or tuna if you want tuna ala king - about 3-4 0z per person.





Put in adequate size frying pan - add 2 T margarine or butter per person. Head on medium heat til butter is melted and chicken is getting warm. Add finely 1/4 c. chopped green onion, 1 garlic clove chopped very fine or minced - 1/4 c. celery and then add half cup froz green peas per person. All these things are optional but put in what you like..





Make a roux: Stir all ingredients well and then add a T of flour per person. It should not be all stiff but just enough flour to make a thin paste. Stir it good. When butter starts to brown add milk or you can use half and half if you want it to be super rich and creamy. Pour 1 cup milk in and stir well and then keep adding milk by the 1/2 cup til you have a creamy gravy.





You can salt and pepper to taste.





Serve over cooked rice or toast points. My husband likes it over untoasted bread. ?? :)
