CHICKEN A LA KING

From Mom, Billie Reid and Judi Troyer   (Betty Crocker)

This is a dish Mom made for us when we were young...then I made it for my family, too.

1 can (4 oz.) mushrooms, stems and pieces, drained; liquid reserved*
1 small green pepper, chopped* 
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1  1/2 t. instant chicken bouillon
1  1/2 cups milk
1  1/4 cups hot water
2 cups cooked chicken or turkey, chopped
1 jar (4 oz.) pimento, chopped
Toasted Bread

Cook and stir mushrooms* and green pepper* in butter over medium heat 5 minutes; remove from heat. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat.

Stir in instant bouillon, milk, water and reserved mushroom liquid.  Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.  Boil and stir 1 minute.  Stir in chicken and pimento; heat through.

Serve over toast.

*Note: My family didn't like the mushrooms or green pepper in this. I substituted about a cup of frozen peas and added them toward the end, just before adding the chicken. We also added chopped green olives sometimes rather than only pimento.
