This Classic Chicken a la King is full of chicken, mushrooms, peas, and pimentos in a creamy and rich sauce served over puff pastry shells. The puff pastry and fancy name make it seem fancy and elegant, but this is truly a down-home meal much like Chicken Pot Pie.

How To Serve

If you don’t want to serve it over puff pastry, you can serve it over biscuits, toast, or rice.

This recipe uses store-bought rotisserie chicken to make a fantastically quick and easy weeknight meal. It only takes 30 minutes to make if you serve it over puff pastry shells. Less than 20 if you serve it over toast.

Tips For Making Chicken A La King

I don’t usually add it, but a little celery can be cooked with the onions and carrots.
If you don’t want to use rotisserie chicken, you can poach some chicken to use.
Traditionally Chicken A La King isn’t spicy, but you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes if you want it a little spicy.
