Chicken a la King Chicken a la King

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

6 tablespoons butter
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (more or less for taste)
3 tablespoons flour
4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 to 3 cups water, depending on desired consistency
3 chicken breasts, boned, cooked, and cubed
2 tablespoons cooking sherry
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup green peas, cooked
2 6-oz. boxes rice, cooked

Directions

In a large skillet, heat butter.  Add mushrooms and saute until tender over medium heat- only a few minutes.  When mushrooms are finished, add flour to the skillet.  Slowly stir in the whipping cream and water.  The consistency of the sauce can be altered by adding more or less water.  Stir constantly until the sauce is thickened.

Add chicken, and heat the mixture until boiling.  Cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes.  Add sherry, still stirring, as well salt and pepper to taste.  Again, more or less sherry can be used.

Lastly, stir in the peas and serve over rice.
