Steps:
- Place a large, deep-sided skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Add the celery, onions, carrots and bay leaf and season with a little salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well in this dish. If you're using thighs, be sure to remove the skin and bones before cooking.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your casserole the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables instead.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality cream soup. The cream soup is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality soup. You can use canned cream soup or make your own.
- Season the casserole to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the casserole hot. Chicken à la King casserole is best served hot, with a side of rice or mashed potatoes.
