Instructions
How to Make Creamy Ultimate Chicken a la King
- Cook Chicken: Sear the chicken breasts in butter over medium heat, cooking until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add minced garlic, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms into the skillet. Sauté until the veggies are softened and fragrant, around 5 minutes.
- Create Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the softened veggies, mixing well. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring until you reach a smooth and bubbling consistency.
- Add Cream & Seasonings: Reduce the heat and blend in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and dried thyme, stirring until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
- Incorporate Peas: Toss in the frozen peas, warming them through for approximately 3 minutes until heated but still vibrant in color.
- Taste & Adjust: Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of brightness.
