Time 2h40m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 ribs celery, thinly sliced on bias
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, thinly sliced on bias
1 fresh bay leaf
Salt and pepper
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips
3 tablespoons butter
3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white wine
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 pound thin asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces on a long angle
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
2 packages (4 to 6 each) puff-pastry shells
1 can fried thin Chinese noodles (or leftovers from your last Chinese takeout)
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

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. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Scoot the veggies over to the sides and add the butter to the center of the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Whisk in the white wine, chicken stock and cream. Bring the liquids up to a simmer, then add the chicken pieces. Bring back up to a simmer and add the asparagus. Simmer the mixture until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes more. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.
  • To serve: Add the peas and tarragon to the a la King mixture and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning.
  • Preheat the oven according to package directions for the puff-pastry shells. Arrange the shells on a nonstick baking sheet, then place in oven. Bake until golden, remove from oven and let cool.
  • Serve mixture filling and spilling over the pastry cups, 2 per person. Garnish each dish with noodles and chives.

RACHAEL RAY'S LONG LIVE THE CHICKEN A LA KING!



Rachael Ray's Long Live the Chicken a La King! image

This is Rachael Ray's take on the American classic. It's from one of her earlier cookbooks. Rachael serves this over canned biscuits (like GRANDS!) that have been separated, placed on a baking sheet and sprinkled with a pinch of cayenne pepper or sweet paprika, then baked according to package directions. I tried to include this in the recipe but for some reason the site will not let me list the canned biscuits.
