I have never had "a la king" anything before. This was so easy to make, it had a nice flavor and everyone had seconds. I only used half the amount of butter that the recipe called for. I'll be making this one again! Thanks.

My son refused to try this at first and then polished off the entire bowl! What I loved about this recipe was that it worked perfectly well even without the bell pepper and the pimento. I added a bit of paprika to make up for it. Its definitely going in the recipe file as a regular menu item... Thank you

Very good. Doubled and served over spaghetti noodles. Served with green beans.

This was a great lunch dish. I served it over toast. I used canned mushrooms and stirred in 1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese. We will be having thins one again.
