Chicken a la king
Chicken a la king, or delicious chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce with green peas and peppers. The traditional recipe uses pimento peppers in this dish, but because they are not so easily available, I use bell peppers instead. This dish tastes delicious with boiled rice, groats, pasta and baked puff pastry. It is delicious as a dinner dish or when served for lunch. Below, I am leaving you a simple recipe for chicken a la king. Please enjoy.

How to make chicken a la king.
Pour olive oil into a pot, add the chicken cut into strips or cubes and fry over a medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the fried meat to a plate or bowl using a slotted spoon. Next, add butter, diced onion and sliced mushrooms to the same pot and fry over a medium heat for one minute. Afterwards, add mashed garlic and fry it for 4-5 minutes, then add the bell pepper cut into strips and fry for 3-4 minutes. Pour wine into the fried vegetables and fry until the liquid has completely evaporated. Then pour in the flour and fry, stirring frequently, for 6-7 minutes.

Good to know when making chicken a la king.
Instead of frying, you can grill the whole chicken breasts and then cut them into smaller pieces.
During frying, the meat can release a lot of water, but do not worry about it, because this water should evaporate as much as possible. If this does not happen, add butter and onion to the water that remains after frying, the liquid will evaporate eventually.
