Chicken (or Turkey) a la King Recipe
Leftover chicken or turkey giving you the eye? Consider trying this Chicken (or Turkey) a la King recipe!
It’s a cinch to fix. Although I am not a huge fan of mushrooms, chopped very small so I don’t have to look at them, I admit it adds a little something to the base recipe for Chicken a la King.
I put the filling inside (and over) a puff pastry shell but I think it would be equally great served over this homemade biscuit recipe. I used leftover sauce on pasta the next day. Delicious and apparently rather versatile. From Food.com.
