Pioneer Woman Chicken Ala King Recipe
Creamy, comforting, and packed with tender chicken, this dish is a classic for a reason!The key is cooking the sauce slowly so the consistency stays velvety instead of turning gluey.I always use both butter and a touch of chicken fat for extra richness in every spoonful.A handful of frozen peas adds a pop of sweetness that balances out the creamy base without making it too heavy.Serving it over warm, flaky biscuits instead of toast takes it up a notch and makes it even more satisfying!
