Chicken a la King is similar in flavor to pot pie but a bit easier to put together. Get in your veggies with chicken and biscuits for dinner.
Jump to RecipeWhen I was growing up, my grandparents would make their recipe creation we called Chicken a la Gurnham. There was a specific ingredient we needed that they stopped selling in stores around us. We had to change up the recipe, so it’s now more of a traditional Chicken a la King.
Chicken a la King has similar flavors to a chicken pot pie. The difference is in the way it’s all put together. For chicken a la king, all of the “filling” is cooked together. Then that’s scooped into a serving bowl and topped with a baked biscuit.
As always, by making a recipe at home, you can change what you want. If you don’t like some of the vegetables in my base recipe, you can switch them out for something else.
Chicken a la King Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1 can biscuits
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/4 green pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Preparation
Prepare biscuits as directed.
Saute chicken until cooked through.
In a separate large skillet, saute celery and green pepper in butter until crisp-tender.
Stir in the soup, milk, and pepper.
Add the chicken and reduce the heat.
Simmer uncovered for 4-6 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Serve chicken and sauce over biscuits.
Chicken a la King Leftovers
If you have leftovers, I suggest storing the filling in a separate container from the biscuits. The filling can go in the refrigerator and will stay good for 2-3 days. The biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. I like to reheat the filling on the stovetop until warm then top with a biscuit.

Chicken a la King is one of my favorite recipes of all time. I love the richness and creaminess of it. This looks great!
Oooo this is a new to me recipe. I have heard of pot pie but never really had one. I like how this one is easier to make and also how the bread isn’t really mixed in but rather on the side. I prefer my breads that way!
