Chicken a la King #15MinuteSuppers

Growing up one of my favorite meals that my mom (or dad) would make was Chicken a la King.  I always thought it was such a silly name, and I still don’t know where it comes from, but man did I love it.  I mean who wouldn’t!  Biscuits, gravy, chicken and it even has veggies so it’s healthy right? 🙂 I wouldn’t have a love of peas if it wasn’t for Chicken a la King.

Because I have such fond memories of this meal from my childhood, I now wonder why it took me so long to make it for my family.  I have made it a couple times since I’ve been married (hubby is a fan), but usually I’m too lazy or I’ve waited to the last minute and I think that I don’t have the time to make it.  Well with a few helpful items, this meal can be made and on the table in 15 minutes!

Chicken, peas, carrots and gravy over biscuits

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package store bought biscuits
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cooked (rotisserie) chicken, cubed
• 1 (15 oz) can of peas and carrots, drained
• 1 (14 oz) can of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 TBL butter
• 2 TBL flour
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp chicken bullion granulated
• pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare and bake biscuits according to package directions
2. AS BISCUITS ARE BAKING DO THE FOLLOWING:
3. Melt butter in a sauce pan on medium high heat
4. Add flour to melted butter and whisk together so there are no lumps
5. Let butter and flour cook together for about 2 minutes, making sure to not let the mixture burn
6. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk
7. Add chicken bullion, sugar and as much pepper as you like (or not)
8. As it starts to boil, the gravy should start to thicken, continue stirring so that it doesn't burn on the bottom (if it is too thick, you can add more milk, in small amounts, until you get the thickness you like)
9. Once it starts to thicken, add in the chicken and the peas and carrots and stir all together
10. Split open your biscuits and cover with the chicken gravy to serve
