Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup Diced red bell pepper
- 6 pieces Cooked puff pastry shells or biscuits
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir lightly.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour to form a roux and continue whisking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the cream sauce into the crock pot and stir to combine.
Add the frozen peas, sliced mushrooms, and diced red bell pepper to the crock pot. Stir well.
Cover and continue cooking on LOW for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve the Chicken Ala King over warm puff pastry shells or biscuits for a delightful and satisfying meal.
