Excellent! This is one of my wife's favorite meals, so I went searching for a good one... I got more than I bargained for, since this is a wonderful and easy recipe. :)

Hi! I was specifically looking for a chicken a la king recipe and found this one and decided to try it because it had ingredients in it that my family likes. I followed the recipe pretty closely, only I used only red pepper and made my own white sauce since I didn't have cream of chicken soup on hand. I think next time, I may cut back on or leave out the garlic because it seemed to overpower the flavor and a garlic flavor isn't what I was looking for in a chicken a la king recipe. It was yummy and my 7-year old said as she was clearing her plate from the table, "...that was so good!" I'd like to try it again sometime! Thanks, Paul, for a delicious alternative to chicken!

My mom used to make this as a kid, to quicken prep time even more you can use cooked cubed chicken from the can and also use pre- cut stir fry pepper and onion mix!

Good, a little bland but that's easily fixed. Thanks!
