Chicken a la King

Ask:
This is a Rachael Ray recipe from FoodNetwork.com. I saw her make it on her show and I've been making it ever since. Instead of biscuits, I make rice.

Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

1 tube jumbo bake-off biscuits (recommended: Pillsbury brand "Grands"), available on dairy aisle (I make white rice instead of biscuits)

A sprinkle cayenne (spicy) or sweet paprika (mild)

1 cup dry white wine

2 cups chicken broth

1 bay leaf

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 pound small white mushrooms, sliced (I omit the mushrooms)

1/2 small white onion, chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons chopped pimentos

1 cup frozen green peas

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf or curly parsley



Preheat oven according to package directions for biscuits. Arrange biscuits on nonstick baking sheet and sprinkle with a little ground cayenne pepper or sweet paprika then place biscuits into a preheated oven. Bake until golden, remove biscuits from oven and then cool.


In a medium skillet, bring 1 cup white wine and 2 cups chicken broth and 1 bay leaf to a boil. Slide in chicken breasts and gently poach them in simmering broth and wine for 10 to 12 minutes.



Preheat a second skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter. When butter melts into oil, add mushrooms and onion and cook 5 minutes until tender. Add flour and cook another minute.



Pull chicken from broth and set on cutting board. Ladle cooking liquid into the mushrooms, whisking it in. Add 2 to 2 1/2 cups of liquid and discard the bay leaf. Add pimentos and peas to the sauce. Dice chicken into bite-size pieces and slide into bubbling sauce.



Split the biscuits, place bottoms on dinner plates and cover with ladles of Chicken a la King. Cap with biscuit tops and garnish with chopped parsley.
