Chicken A La King With Fettuccine or Rice

Living in the Middle East, again, our two kids had been used to eating more pasta rather than rice. Include me, that makes three of us wanting pasta, an my husband preferring rice. At times when I know red sauce spaghetti means starving him, I would resort to making chicken a la king, with creamy and cheesy white sauce. With a cup of rice or with fettuccine, it is sure to satisfy everyone in the family. 

Chicken A La King

500grams chicken fillet diced to bite size

250 grams fresh button mushroom sliced

1 bell pepper diced

1 medium size carrot diced

3 tbsp butter

3 tbsp corn flour

1 medium onion diced

snow peas( optional)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese

2 cups water

salt to taste

1. Heat the sauce pan and melt the butter, then add the bell pepper. After 2 minutes, add sliced button mushroom and saute until tender, then add onion and chicken. 

2. Once the chicken are browned add the corn flour and water. let simmer until the water thickens. Add the carrots and snow peas, cover and simmer until tender.

3. Add the heavy cream ans stir then add the cheese, ans salt according to taste.

I usually serve this with fettuccine and dash dried parsley and more cheese on top. Whenever served with hot steamed rice I like to sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top.
