There are a myriad of variations on this recipe. Also known as Chicken à la King this recipe sometimes sports sherry, peppers and a mix of vegetables. This is one of my go-to recipes, since I can cobble it together in under 45 minutes.
While this meal is traditionally served on toasted garlic bread, I often serve it atop some rice as shown.
