This was my first dish from Mr Foods. I really enjoyed this dish, my love it. I try to find quick and delightful dishes to make, so when my wife comes home from work I have something for her to eat. I watch your show when I have a chance and it always seem quick which I like. Thanks again it was great. My only change was I did not use the pimento as I could not find them at the time in my commissary, so I went with Roasted Red Peppers and Chopped the mushrooms up fine. IT was delicious.

Lives up to title of in a hurry. Used two large chicken breasts that Id cooked in broth. Only change was chopped red pepper in place of pimento. Very good over noodles or rice.

Just made it. Much better than what I was served at school as a kid. At least as good as Moms was. You can't go wrong with this if you want tasty food.

Several people commented that a picture is not necessary. That may be true, but has anyone heard the phrase "The eye, sells?" If you want more people to try a recipe, wise person might want to include a photo.

a picture is always required. if a recipe sounds good, I will more likely try it if it has a picture.

Made this for lunch today, using some left-over rotisserie chicken. Subbed heavy cream for the milk, just to use up the carton. Had a few fresh herbs in the fridge, so threw in some minced parsley and a smidge of thyme, and then added a Tbsp of dry sherry! Five stars!

I agree, Brys! I know how to cook, and I am able to just jump right in, but I like to be able to visualize what the finished dish is going to look like.

This is the best Chicken a la King I have ever tasted and easy to make. For those of us that need easy and fast, try this, you will love it! I used canned peas (drained) worked just as well as frozen...

I agree with the comment about pictures of a dish that it to be prepared. Not all of us or cooks. Thank God for the invention of can openers and can foods.

This sounds great. And I love when a picture is added to a recipe. This way I know what it is supposed to look like. Thanks.

I've never known any one that really needed a picture to go by to make a recipe. If you know how to cook, you should just be able to jump in!
