JOANNA LUND'S CLASSIC CHICKEN A LA KING



Joanna Lund's Classic Chicken a La King image

This is from JoAnna Lund's cookbook "Cooking Healthy Across America". It's so easy to prepare! I used boiled chicken that I boiled and shredded the day before so this made for a quick and easy weeknight meal. We served it over Texas Toast but I'm sure it'd be just as good over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. Note: the recipe calls for 1 1/2 c of peas, but the family doesn't like peas that much so I just used about 3/4 cup.

Provided by kelly24095

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (10 ounce) can large refrigerated flaky biscuits
1 (3 pound) rotisserie-roasted chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup fresh mushrooms
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white wine
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the biscuits 1 to 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown, 13 to 17 minutes. Remove biscuits to cool, and set aside. Cut meat from the rotisserie chicken into bite-size pieces, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, carrots, mushrooms, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened, the carrots are tender, and the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 7 minutes. Stir in the red bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a thick paste. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the flour has lost its raw smell, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the white wine, increase the heat to medium-high, and simmer for 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth and whipping cream and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat, stir in the shredded chicken, and simmer for 7 minutes.
  • Pour the chicken mixture into the skillet containing the vegetables and adjust the heat to medium. Add the asparagus and cook until the asparagus pieces are tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and tarragon and mix well.
  • Place a split biscuit on each plate and pour the chicken mixture over the biscuits.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken: A free-range or organic chicken will have a better flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a salt water solution helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Season the chicken well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the chicken, such as garlic, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
