"I copied this one out of a friend's book so many moons ago that I can't remember where it's from, but it's so decadently fattening that I can't resist pigging out now and then. I usually serve with rice, but I suppose it would go with noodles or new potatoes just as well. "

Very, very good! As an added chicken flavor I added half a can of Butter Ball Chicken Broth, along with a handful of frozen peas, and served it over biscuits.

It is a great meal I put it with noodles and it is nice and creamy and a good taste as well. It was easy to make. All you need is a picture of it to go with it.

I made this and shared with my mother. We both loved it. She even had seconds. She is the type that likes the same things cooked the same way all the time and I have been trying to expand our menu. Very tastey. Thanks for a new recipe.

i added an onion and some garlic to the sauteed vegetables as well as peas. i think it would be even better with almonds as a final touch, but very good without and pretty easy to prepare on short notice

I'm not sure what "double cream" is but, this was good without it. I also served over biscuits. This IS comfort food. Very creamy and I too could "pig out" on this.

Overall this recipe was okay. It was pretty good but a little "flour" tasting to me. I also thought it was too much trouble for the outcome. I guess I just prefer chicken ala king made with broth instead. But again, overall it was pretty good.
