Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup Cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup Button mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 6 pieces Bread slices
- 3 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slices slightly. Brush both sides of each slice with melted butter.
Press each bread slice into the cups of a muffin tin to form a cup-like shape. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and whisk until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the shredded chicken, turkey, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
Spoon the creamy Chicken Turkey a La King mixture into the toasted bread cups.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dish!
