Great recipe! I didn't have green onion on hand so I just diced a small sweet onion instead and I served it over hot biscuits. Everyone said it was definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Manami :)

This is yummy! Just perfect, and very easy, no exotic ingredients. I only changed it by using 3 thin slices fresh red pepper sauteed (no pimentos in the house), and I added about 1/2 cup frozen peas because I like them. I served it over pastry puffs (they come frozen from Pepperidge Farm). Everybody liked it, though the kids did pick out the mushrooms.

WOW! WOW! WOW! It was fantastic!!! Very Creamy and tasty. I followed the directions exactly. I bought a precooked whole chicken at the grocery. I picked all the white and dark meat off except for the legs. I will always keep this in my recipe box. Thanks so much!!!!

This was a very tasty, easy meal to prepare. I used baby bella mushrooms and added the salt, pepper and a little garlic, onion powder and a dash of chicken bullion powder to the mushrooms. I added a little white wine with the chicken broth and used about 3-4 oz of pimentos and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Served it over noodles and it was definitely company worthy.

We had a thoroughly lovely meal tonight with this Chicken a La King served over rice. Our 13-year-old boy loved it the most! I remember my brother loving this dish and making his wife cook it weekly but I never got her recipe. It's a guy-friendly dish, I suppose, and this recipe really hit the spot tonight. Thanks for posting, DiScharf.
