Simple Chicken Ala King

In a 10″ skillet over medium heat, add oil and butter. Once melted add split chicken breasts and onions and cook chicken breasts for 7 minutes on each side, stirring onions as they cook. Remove chicken breasts from skillet and place on a clean work surface. When they cool a bit use two forks to shred chicken.

In a medium sized pot with lid add cooked onions from skillet, chicken stock and light cream (or half-and-half) and stir gently over medium heat. Add peas, shredded carrots, black pepper, hot sauce and parsley, cover with lid and cook 10 minutes on medium heat. Add shredded chicken to pot and stir well together. Cook an additional 15 minutes on medium low heat covered, stirring a few times. It will thicken as it cooks and become very creamy.

To serve: Add some cooked rice to an individual serving dish and spoon chicken mixture on top. It is so creamy, tender and flavorful. Enjoy!

Note: Another serving option is to toast some bread and serve Chicken Ala King on top.
