"This is a modified version of Rachael Ray's Chicken a la King. It uses no condensed soups and is healthier than most a la kings. She serves it over some Grands biscuits that had paprika or cayenne sprinkled on top of them before baking. I served this over brown rice for health. She used pimientos as well, I replaced them with celery. You can put this on top of any starch."

I made this recipe exactly as written and found it to be just OK. Then I made it adding a bit more butter, more salt and more pepper -- -- it was better, but still just OK. <br/><br/>Something is missing in this recipe. It lacks depth of flavor. It comes across like a light chicken stew. Not sure I'd like this on rice - lol. <br/><br/>An OK fall, winter or early spring dish. Not sure if I will make it again.

deleted the green onion and celery (as I didn't have it in my fridge) and it was yummy! Added another cup of wine to the broth and it tasted great.

This was a very delicious recipe, will definitely make again. I found that I needed to add a little bit more chicken broth to the recipe.
