Kittencal's Turkey or Chicken a La King

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a great recipe to use up leftover turkey or chicken, I serve this over baked puff pastry shells or cooked egg noodles, Texas toast works well also, feel free to add in other veggies, if you don't care for garlic then omit and just use the mushrooms, this recipe may be doubled if desired to serve 6-8 --- you will *love* this! :)"

I made this for my husband for dinner and he really enjoyed it! I added peas and instead of pimiento I used red bell pepper. Thank you Kitten for a dish that will be repeated!

This was so good -- and we used MILK!!! The whole family loved it, and it is a great and easy way to use leftover turkey. We served it over thick French bread. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks, Kittencal!

Thank you Kittencal for another "Great Tasting Recipe" that is "Easy to Do", for the leftover cooked chicken that I often have. I didn't have the cooked chicken this time but had everything else. Made with 6 Chicken Tenders that I seasoned and quickly cooked in 1/2 Cup White Wine and 1 Cup Chicken Broth. I did add 2 Tbl minced onion when I cooked the mushrooms & garlic. Other than that, I followed your recipe. Used 3 Tbl flour because I used the broth from cooking the Tenders. The sause, after adding the cream, was perfect. I used my garden peas insted of corn. It does serve 4 for Lunch or 2 for Supper with a salad. I put it on 4 slices of wheat toast and sprinkled some chopped garden parsley on top. It was "awesome" a keeper and a new favorite .

This was very tasty. I used both peas and corn and served over rice. I did need to add about 1/2 - 1 cup more chicken broth than called for in the recipe. I would definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.
