Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 3 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (3 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-ounce carton)
  • 2 cups cut-up cooked chicken or turkey
  • 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
  • 3 cups hot cooked rice or 12 slices toasted baguette

Steps

  • 1
    Melt butter in 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook bell pepper and mushrooms in butter, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender.
  • 2
    Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk and broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken and pimientos; cook until hot. Serve over rice.

  • For an easy short-cut, purchase pre-sliced mushrooms.
  • Do you have the remains of a rotisserie chicken languishing in the fridge? Chop up the meat and put it to good use in this chicken à la king recipe. It’s an excellent way to clean out the fridge and fill everyone’s belly!
  • The base for this meal is also open to interpretation. It tastes great on rice, of course, but it’s just as good on toasted baguette. You could also serve this on egg noodles, or really whatever strikes your fancy.
