Chicken a la King is a delicious combination of tender Chicken, mushrooms, onions, peas, green peppers, and pimentos in a rich cream sauce. Serve it over rice, egg noodles, toast, or puff pastry shells. This delectable recipe comes together quickly using baked rotisserie chicken.
This is one of my favorite comfort food meals. It reminds me of the beautiful creamy one-pot meals I enjoyed with my brothers and sisters. It is amazing how food can be so nostalgic. Chicken a la King is a super easy heartwarming, satisfying meal. It is quick to come together, making it a perfect weeknight meal. This recipe calls for already baked rotisserie chicken, but you can use any leftover chicken. You can pick up a rotisserie chicken at any club warehouse and most grocery stores. Leftovers warm up quickly right on the stovetop.
What is Chicken a la King?
It is a creamy one-pot comfort food dish made with Chicken, mushrooms, peas, onions, green bell peppers, and pimientos. It is traditionally served over rice, noodles, toast, biscuits, or puff pastry shells. For an equally delicious change of pace, substitute cooked tuna or salmon for the Chicken.
How to make Chicken a la King
Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Add the mushrooms and cook for several minutes. Then add the onion and green pepper, cooking until the veggies soften and the mushrooms brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic and dry mustard. sprinkle in the flour while continuing to stir. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to combine. Simmer until thickened, stirring several times.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the half and half, peas, pimentos, and cooked Chicken. Continue cooking and stirring until everything is hot. If the mixture becomes too thick, add one-quarter cup of chicken broth at a time to reach the desired thickness. Serve over rice, noodles, toast, biscuits, or puff pastry shells.
What is the best Chicken to use?
My favorite is baked rotisserie chicken, which is available almost anywhere. You can pick them up at club warehouses, grocery stores, and nearly every Walmart. However, you can use any baked, poached, or roasted Chicken. In addition to that, you can also use cooked skinless thigh and wing meat.
Can you freeze this dish?
Chicken a la King is best fresh out of the pot, but I know that sometimes there is just too much to eat, especially if you are cooking for one. Once the dish is fully cooled, pack it in freezer bags removing as much air as possible. Lay flat on a baking sheet and freeze. Once fully frozen, stack as desired and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, defrost in the refrigerator, remove from the bag, and place contents in a saucepan on low. Stir frequently until it reaches the desired temperature. Likewise, pour the contents into a microwaveable bowl and reheat in the microwave for 1-minute intervals at 50% power until the desired temperature.
Helpful recipe hints and tips
- Take the time to brown the mushrooms. They taste better that way, and the dish is more visually appealing.
- Don’t get too hung up in blending the flour with the mushrooms, onions, and peppers. It will all work out when you add the broth and the milk.
- Drain the pimentos well because you don’t want the juice that they are packed in flavoring or coloring your dish.
- Frozen peas are best in this dish. They retain their color, shape, and flavor during the simmering process much better than canned or fresh.
- For a lower-fat version, cut the butter and cream in half. It will still be delicious, just not as rich.
- If the mixture gets too thick, add one-quarter cup of chicken broth at a time to reach desired thickness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power or on the stovetop on low.
- To freeze, first cool completely. Then ladle into freezer bags. Lay the freezer bags down in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets and place the sheet in the freezer. Once fully frozen, stack the bags up on their side in the freezer to save on space. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
This truly delectable Chicken a la King is the ultimate comfort food and a family favorite. So if you love delicious easy chicken recipes all made in the same pot, then you must give this one a whirl.

So, it is meant as a topper for, say, noodles? It seems like it would also be good served by itself, like a stew.

It has a little more sauce/gravy than that but you could certainly do that or eat it with some biscuits.

DonnaW
I wrote a review but forgot to rate the recipe. It was wonderful! We’re having it again for dinner tonight and we’ll definitely keep this dish in rotation.
I didn’t mention it in my review ( still pending as of 9.19.2023) but we served ours over long grain rice. Initially I considered adding a salad but the dish has so many veggies already that we considered the dish plus rice as a complete meal.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Donna! I am a little behind on answering and approving comments. That is great that you are making it again. I am kind of jealous.
DonnaW
Made this today and both my husband and I absolutely loved it! I followed the recipe fairly strictly except that I added 3 stalks thinly sliced celery to the bell pepper/onion mixture. Rather than rotisserie chicken, I poached 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1-3/4 lbs) in chicken broth and seasoned the broth with salt, pepper, Herbes de Provence, extra thyme and 2 bay leaves plus one tablespoon ‘Roasted Chicken Better than Bouillon’ for added flavor, then used the homemade broth in the recipe.
Note that I was a bit heavy handed on the veggies and needed more broth and milk than called for in the instructions. The recipe made enough for what will easily be 3 dinners for a pair of empty nesters.
Otherwise, all instructions followed as written. My husband had never had homemade chicken a la king and made me promise to keep it in rotation.
Beth Pierce
That is awesome! So glad that you liked the chicken a la king. It is one of my favorites recipes. I think I could eat it once a week for the rest of my life.
JimmyB
I made this last night and it was DELICIOUS! I made it at the request of my picky eater who said that I, “Hit it out of the park.” I used leftover B/S thighs from another recipe and they were just perfect in this dish. My first choice would have been to serve this over those little puff pasty cups but I was out of them so used a can of Grands Southern Biscuits. Thanks for sharing such an EZ and delicious recipe!
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
You are most welcome, Jimmy! I am so glad that you and your picky eater liked it.

I have made this dish a handful of times in the past, but this recipe has been BY FAR THE MOST DELISH! I served it over some left over home made biscuits (to get them used up) and my family couldn’t stop commenting about how much they liked it. Even my husband, who isn’t a chicken man at all, loved it. I agree taking the extra time to brown the mushrooms and infuse that flavor really helps. I substituted a bag of frozen mixed vegetables for the peas, but otherwise I stuck to your recipe. Thank you so very much for sharing this!!

I have been making this recipe for 40 years. The only thing I do is add just a titch of sugar to change it from the taste of salt to sweet (peas). And I serve it over biscuits. Otherwise, it’s the best.

Thanks John enjoy! My mom made it too. I have such fond memories of it.
Barb
I liked this recipe. It was a little bland and way too thick for me. I ended up adding more chicken broth. Next time I might add a little cooking sherry to enhance the flavor.
★★★
Shirley Cox
I made this tonight for our family and it was fantastic! We put it over rice and served it with blueberry muffins. There are plenty of vegetables in it so we didn’t have to add any as side dishes. The only thing we found is that we needed to add more liquid. I doubled the recipe, and used 5 1/2 cups of chicken broth instead of the 3 cups for a double recipe, and about 1/3 cup more cream. Also, I used non-fat 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream. It was so good, I’ll be making it for us again, as well as use it for meals I give to others that just had a baby, or are on chemo.
★★★★★
Beth Pierce
Thanks Shirley! So glad that you and family liked it. It is such good comfort food.
Christine Clemins
I followed the recipe exactly except I used sliced Baby Bella mushrooms for added depth of flavor. Had to add far more broth than anticipated for some reason–you mentioned this. It was a pretty good dish. Next time I’ll add finely diced carrots and celery though (that’s what I’m used to) and use less green pepper. These are just my personal taste preferences though. There’s nothing wrong with the recipe as written at all. This really took my husband and I back to the 70s. Thanks for a great recipe.
★★★★

Thanks Christine! Food can be so darn nostalgic!

I went to my recipe box and found my recipe it could be a northern thing but mine doesn’t call for pimento and green peppers it calls for onion mushrooms celery carrot and peas. But like I said could be a northern thing but yours is GREAT.

Rebecca Allen
Are you sure it’s 8oz of pimento. My grocery store has a small jar which is 2 ounces in a larger jar which is for. So I buy two of the larger jars?
Beth Pierce
Yes it is 8 ounces of pimentos. If they are pricey you could get by with 4 ounces. I like pimentos so I put in a healthy amount.
