Chicken a la King ~ The Easy Way
Chicken a la King Made with Rotisserie Chicken
When I was growing up I remember my Mom making chicken à la king with toast. It was one of my favorite dinners but I forgot about it for years...ages even until a few weeks ago and I had such a craving for it I decided to make it. I didn't have my Mom's recipe so I improvised and used what I had on hand and to save time I used a rotisserie chicken from Costco. I find I use those for so many dinners. They are such a great time saver and for less than $5.00 a bargain.
If you love a rich, creamy and hearty meal (and chicken) then this is the recipe for you.

I've gotten in to making chicken pot pie. Gotta love those warm dinners on these cold nights. (We woke up to -19 this morning. Brrr.)
This looks delicious Mary Beth. What a great idea! And what a great deal on a chicken too!!!
Have a great day and stay warm!! [[hugs]]
I love chicken pot pie, Diane! It's one of my favorite meals ever. It's a little warmer here today but yesterday it snowed, and snowed and snowed. I don't mind winter too much but I do long for some warmer days. Stay warm xoxo mb
Mary Beth this looks amazing! I bet your Mom would be proud of you! My sister had a baby this week and I needed something easy to make for her family. You're going to make me look impressive. Thanks for the recipe. Hope you have a happy weekend, Coco
Thank you so much, Coco ~ your comment was so sweet. 🙂 Congratulations on the new baby!!!!!
This is wonderful! I rarely buy those chickens because they are so expensive here. We are like 40 miles from Costco. But I put a chicken in the crockpot on low before we go to bed a lot of nights and let it roast while we sleep. Turn it off in the morning and then I have cooked chicken for so many things! I will definitely be making this for my bunch! Thanks!
That's a great idea, Julia, about the chicken in the crockpot. I've never tried that but I will now! We have a Costco and a Sam's Club about 20 minutes from our house so we go there....a lot. 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I've missed you! I hope all is well with you and your wonderful family.
