Creamy Chicken Ala King

Yum! is all I can say. I cooked this for dinner because we invited some friends over & as usual it was a hit :)

Thought you'd appreciate a good homespun recipe that is truly satisfying, paired with steamed rice, bread or mashed potatoes. Hmm..give it a try!



INGREDIENTS:

1kg. boneless chicken breasts, cut up

1 large white onion quartered

dollop of margarine/butter- your choice

cubed potatoes, about 3 large ones

300 gms. of button mushrooms, halved

fresh baby peas

red and green bellpepper, cut into large cubes (capsicum)

baby corn

Evaporated milk, 1 can

cornflour



HOW TO:

1. In a deep wok over medium heat, melt butter with oil- preferably a no cholesterol one (i use rice bran oil).

2. Toss in the onions and when translucent, add in potatoes, saute' a couple of minutes.

3. Add in the chicken pieces & season with salt and a little pepper. Cover and let cook for another 2-3 minutes.

4. Add in 1 cup of water and cover- leave until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.

5. Toss in the capsicums, baby corn and cover, add more seasoning if needed. Leave for 5 minutes over low heat.

6. Now we could add in the mushrooms and evaporated milk- leave 1/4 c of milk to dissolve about a tbsp. of cornflour, just to thicken the sauce. Blend well to incorporate cornflour throughout the sauce. Let cook for 3 minutes.

7. Turn off heat and add in the green peas.



Ta-da! all done :)
