Description

When I know Ill be having a busy day with little time for cooking, I prepare this tasty main dish. Brimming with tender chicken and colorful vegetables, it smells so good while cooking. —Eleanor Mielke, Snohomish, Washington

Simple to put together with tasty results. I ended up seasoning with a bit more salt and pepper after tasting it.

This was my first time making and eating chicken a la king and I loved it! I took the advice of some other reviews and used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and there was a perfect amount of sauce. I also used mixed veggies instead of peas. So easy and I Will make again!

Great Weeknight dinner. I used mixed frozen veggies, insted of just peas. I also left out the green peppers (too strong a flavor for me) and added a little chicken broth as the sauce was really thick. My crockpot only took 6 hours to cook. Nice and warm on a cold night.

Just like Mom's only easier because of the slow cooker.

Although tasty, it had more of a stew-like consistency, than the thick chicken a la king I remember from childhood. My husband and I actually liked it better the 2nd day after it had thickened some.

This is really good. I made some changes to reduce the fat/calories a bit. I use the 98%FF cream of chicken and a little less chicken with more veggies. I use frozen peas and carrots and add about a tsp. of garlic powder. I love slow cooker meals and this one turns out great every time.

Although easy to make, the flavor is very bland (needs more spices), the chicken was dry and the sauce was watery until I added cornstarch. Will not make again!

I agree with the other reviews that cooking 7 hrs is too long and this does not make six servings. It was easy to prepare.

I used a frozen chicken breast and it still only took 4-5 hours. I also added 2 garlic cloves chopped and some frozen corn too. This was really good and Ill definitely make a double batch again. This recipe is no more than 2 servings.

Loved this recipe. So super easy it just doesnt seem right. A few things: First, I didnt measure, but there is NO WAY there are 6 - 1 cup servings in this recipe. Second, I started it late an only had 4 hours so I cooked it on high 2 hours then low for 2 hours. My husband left it on warm another 2 hours while I was at the gym and it was still great when I got home. Third, no pinmentos so I subbed half a jarred roasted red pepper. Lastly, I used my measuring spoon labeled dash for the cayenne and it was probably a tad too much. This is going to be a regular recipe, only I will double it in the future.
