Just Enough Chicken a la King
wellenuffalone.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
This is basically creamed chicken with pimento, but it's the pimento that gives it the subtle flavor. Some people add peas, I like a little shallot in mine, but that's me. I also leave out the green pepper, since I can't eat them and hence I double up on the roasted red pepper.
I also topped it with fresh parsley since I still have some, lasts for ages if you keep it in water.
CHICKEN A LA KING
2 tablespoons butter
3-4 button mushrooms
[1 shallot]
[2-3 tablespoons green pepper]
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup milk
1 half chicken breast, cooked
1 pimento (or one roasted red pepper)
Slice mushrooms, dice chicken, mince shallot, chopped peppers and pimento.
Sauté mushrooms, shallots and any fresh pepper in 1 tablespoon butter until just cooked
Remove mushrooms and onion from skillet
Add the other tablespoon butter and flour, stir until blended and cook 1 minute until thickened (make roux)
Pour in 1/4 cup milk
Add chicken, mushrooms, pimento and pepper or shallot if used.
Stir and let simmer until heated through.
This can be served over anything really: toast, baked potato but most often over rice or puffed pastry.
