I'm allergic to mushrooms. Can I substitute another vegetable?

I was disappointed with this recipe. The pastry was dry and crumbly, and the chicken filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken a la king was creamy and flavorful, and the pastry was flaky and golden. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy sauce and flaky pastry are always a hit. I often add a bit of extra seasoning to the chicken to give it more flavor.
