Chicken A La King

Directions for Chicken A La King Freezer Meal- Made by Amanda Riggs

Completely thaw entree in the refrigerator.  Simmer the chicken and sauce in a large skillet over medium heat until warmed through.  Do not boil.  Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or biscuits.  Frozen Biscuits provided.

Each packet contains: 1 tsp celery flakes; 1 (4 oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained; 2 TBSP butter; 1/2 cup cold water mixed with 3 TBSP cornstarch for thickening; 2 cups chicken broth; 1 cup milk; 1 tsp chicken bullion granules;  3 cups diced cooked chicken; 1 (12 oz) pkg. frozen peas and carrots;1/2 chopped green pepper; salt & pepper to taste.

When cooking chicken, remove fat from chicken broth.  Save 2 cups broth for sauce.

Saute mushrooms and green pepper in butter. To make thickening, mix 1/2 cup cold water with 3 TBSP cornstarch. Add thickening to mushrooms, green pepper and butter.  Slowly add  milk and seasonings.Cook 5 minutes stirring constantly until thick. Add chicken and vegetables.  Simmer for 10 minutes.  Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or biscuits.  Frozen Biscuits provided.

Note: The original recipe was very fattening.  It called for 1/2 cup butter and 2 cups half and half.  It was very good but it gave my husband a stomach ache.  So, I trimmed down the fat in this recipe.  However, the new version is still very good.  It is a meal you can feel good about eating! Enjoy!
