Love it!!
Peeps, I have never tasted made from scratch Chicken A La King.
We grew up on the canned Swanson's stuff over english muffins and toast, and that's the way I've done it in the past.
You've inspired me.
Thank you!

BTW The first time I ever had this I was a candy striper in the hospital. I was serving dinners and the dietitian gave me a plate served just as you see my plate. I have always eaten it over rice with green beans.

You used to be a candy striper?
That makes me love you even more! :applause::D
Except I almost passed out cold as a mackrel when a nurse handed me a bag of warm blood! LOL I was 16 and there was a really cute football quarterback from a rival high school there with a broken leg. I would get there early everyday so I could get his floor and wing!! LOL

I love chicken a la king - it's one of my favorite comfort foods. I almost always make it with 2 cups of leftover roast chicken and it's always one of the dishes I make with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. My recipe is very similar, but I use milk instead of half and half and serve it over mashed potatoes. When I have leftover chicken a la king, I take it to work for lunch and have it over toast. :smile:

Very nice! I like the stuff out of the can, so I'll have to give this a go. It looks soooo much better. I like to put it in the Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry Shells or just on toast.
