Chicken Ala King Recipe



1/2 cup chopped sweet green peppers
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup reduced-fat chicken broth
1 cup skim milk or ½ cup cream
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
¼ cup cooking sherry

1 cup diced cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup chopped pimentos
4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley

Coat a nonstick 12-inch skillet with nonstick spray and warm over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and peppers, and saute until they are softened. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of broth if the vegetables begin to stick. Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the broth and set aside. Add the remaining broth, milk, pepper, poultry seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, chicken and pimientos to the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the broth mixture and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened. Spoon over the toast and top with the parsley.

Makes 4 servings.

Variations: Serve over hot rice or fettuccini or toast.

Washington News

Florida tomato growers are lining up congressional support to seek restitution for millions of dollars in losses linked to the nation's salmonella outbreak. "We believe it is maybe $100 million or more in Florida," said J. Luis Rodriguez, trade adviser for Florida Farmers Inc. Florida growers, many with multistate operations, plan to work with members of Congress such as Rep. Allen Boyd, D-Panama City, to seek an appropriation. Rodriguez expects it will take about six weeks to document and tally the losses, according to Palm Beach Post.
