Chicken Ala King

Since I've posted several dessert recipes recently, I thought I'd better steer away from sugar and share something a little more healthy. I got this recipe for Chicken ala King from my good friend Judy a few years ago, and my family loves it! Unlike other chicken ala king recipes I've tried, this one has a homemade sauce instead of cream of chicken soup. It is scrumptious!My family likes it best served with my Light and Fluffy Biscuits, but you can also serve it over toast or pie crust if you prefer. I have my boys cook dinner on Sunday, and this is the meal my 12 year old picked a few weeks ago. He even made the biscuits! This is a great weeknight meal, and if you have leftover chicken, it comes together even faster! Hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does!
