CHICKEN A LA KING, YUMMY COMFORT FOOD

Steps:

• 1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients.
• 2. Chef's Note: Some people like their mushrooms with more of a bite to them. If that's the case quarter them; instead of thinly slicing.
• 3. Add the butter to a sauté pan over medium heat.
• 4. When the butter stops foaming, add the onions, mushrooms, and celery.
• 5. Sauté until the veggies are tender and just starting to crisp.
• 6. Reduce heat to medium low, and then add the flour, and stir to incorporate.
• 7. Add the milk, and chicken stock and continue to stir until fully incorporated.
• 8. Add the other dry spices, salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and season the dish to taste.
• 9. Keep stirring until you have removed all of the lumps, and it begins to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes (depending on the heat of the pan).
• 10. Add the cubed chicken and peas, and return the pan to a light simmer.
• 11. Chef's Note: If you happen to be making this dish around Thanksgiving, and you're not sure what to do with the leftover turkey... Well, here ya' go.
• 12. Continue to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
• 13. Serve over toast, good homemade biscuits, or my Wholesome Cheddar Waffles... or whatever you choose. Enjoy.
• 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
