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.

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

Good but needed more flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

At the last minute I added Adobo, pepper and garlic powder. I will do it again, but will add fresh garlic with the onions.

Very Good a Few Changes

I thought this was very good. I did add carrots and celery to the onions and mushrooms. ( family doesn't like peas) I didn't... have any bisquits, so I filled Puff Pastry Shells with the mixture. My family really liked it.Read more
