Chicken ala King #OurFamilyTable

This fast, easy, creamy and delicious meal is perfect for weeknights.  Serve over rice, noodles, toast  or spoon into puff pastry shells for a complete, nutritious dinner.

The From Our Dinner Table Group are sharing recipes that start with Rotisserie Chicken.....

Since the theme for this weeks event was Rotisserie Chicken, I actually went to the store and purchased one.  This is very unusual for me.  I raised chickens for many years and so never bought any from the store.  Now that I don't raise them any longer, I still have friends who do so I still rarely buy them from the grocer.

However, I do cook a lot of whole chickens because that's the way they come.  When I make a whole chicken, I normally provide 3 meals from each for my family.  We may eat it roasted the first night, in a casserole or one pot meal another night and as soup for another meal.  

Whether you are using the meat from a store bought rotisserie chicken or leftovers from a chicken you cooked, you are going to be very pleased with this recipe that I am sharing.  We also have lots of other recipes for you today.  Let's take a look.......

Saute your vegetables and make your sauce all in the same skillet.  When the sauce is complete, add the diced  cooked chicken and warm through.  At the very end, add your frozen peas and cook just long enough to warm them through so they don't get mushy.

The only other dirty pan will be from the rice or noodles should you choose to use them.  Until next week enjoy your family as often as possible around the dinner table.
