This Classic Chicken a la King is full of chicken, mushrooms, peas, and pimentos in a creamy and rich sauce served over puff pastry shells. The puff pastry and fancy name make it seem fancy and elegant, but this is truly a down-home meal much like Chicken Pot Pie.

 
If you don’t want to serve it over puff pastry, you can serve it over biscuits, toast, or rice.
This recipe uses store-bought rotisserie chicken to make a fantastically quick and easy weeknight meal. It only takes 30 minutes to make if you serve it over puff pastry shells. Less than 20 if you serve it over toast.
The sauce for this Chicken a la King is made from scratch for best flavor.

 
Tips for making Chicken a la King:

I don’t usually add it, but a little celery can be cooked with the onions and carrots. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for 3 to 5 days. You will probably need to thin the sauce with a little milk when you reheat it.
If you don’t want to use rotisserie chicken, you can poach some chicken to use.
