Directions

1 tube jumbo bake-off biscuits (recommended: Pillsbury brand "Grands"), available on dairy aisle

A sprinkle cayenne (spicy) or sweet paprika (mild)

1 cup dry white wine

2 cups chicken broth

1 bay leaf

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 pound small white mushrooms, sliced

1/2 small white onion, chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons chopped pimentos

1 cup frozen green peas

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf or curly parsley

Preheat oven according to package directions for biscuits. Arrange biscuits on nonstick baking sheet and sprinkle with a little ground cayenne pepper or sweet paprika then place biscuits into a preheated oven. Bake until golden, remove biscuits from oven and then cool.

In a medium skillet, bring 1 cup white wine and 2 cups chicken broth and 1 bay leaf to a boil. Slide in chicken breasts and gently poach them in simmering broth and wine for 10 to 12 minutes.

Preheat a second skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter. When butter melts into oil, add mushrooms and onion and cook 5 minutes until tender. Add flour and cook another minute.

Pull chicken from broth and set on cutting board. Ladle cooking liquid into the mushrooms, whisking it in. Add 2 to 2 1/2 cups of liquid and discard the bay leaf. Add pimentos and peas to the sauce. Dice chicken into bite-size pieces and slide into bubbling sauce.

Split the biscuits, place bottoms on dinner plates and cover with ladles of Chicken a la King. Cap with biscuit tops and garnish with chopped parsley.

GOOD STUFF RACHAEL
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I too had a watery problem at the end. I fixed it by adding more flour and 1 can of cream of chicken soup. Once thickened... and served it was the best. My family loved it.Read more

Ickey Ala King
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I usually love most of Rachael Ray's recipes, but this was just bland and yukky. I used fresh ingredients and good wine, but... nothing could help this mess. I have no explanation for those who give this more than one star!Read more

Fast, easy and delicious. This is one where you can make your own adjustments and use whatever you have in the fridge as... long as you have the bisquits and chicken. This is a keeper. Thanks Rachael, Love Ya, CathieRead more

Canned "broth"
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a good recipe. Methinks the naysayers are just trying to trash this website, or perhaps used box wine and canned... so-called broth. Need to start with a chicken, folks!Read more

Huge Disappointment
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Absolutely the worst chicken ala king ever! Watery, no flavor at all, just a complete mess and I'm upset that I took all... this time to make it and no reward at the end.Read more
