Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 8 oz Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 4 cups Cooked rice, noodles, or toast
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms, cooking until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flour does not burn.
Gradually pour the chicken broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Slowly add the heavy cream and milk, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Simmer the mixture gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the peas to heat through.
Serve the Chicken a La King over your choice of cooked rice, noodles, or toasted bread. Garnish with additional paprika or parsley, if desired.
