Mother used to make this when I was living at home and loved it. She served it over toast.CHICKEN ALA KING

1/4 c. butter
1/3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. chicken broth
1 c. milk
2 c. chicken, diced
1 (3 oz.) can mushrooms **U can eliminate this
1/4 c. pimento, chopped
1 (16 oz.) bag frozen peas **U can eliminate this

In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter (or substitute chicken fat). Blend in 1/3 cup flour in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup milk all at once. Cook, (stir constantly until sauce is thick and bubbly). Add 2 cups diced and cooked chicken, drained mushrooms and chopped pimento. Stir in above ingredients and add cooked peas. Heat thoroughly and serve over noodles or toast.

Chicken ala King was my favorite dish when growing up. If you leave out the pimentos, peas and mushrooms you've got a traditional chicken over biscuits recipe "or" leave them in for a little color.

I think the OP wants a creamed chicken recipe for sandwiches. I love them, so does my great niece; but I've never made creamed chicken.

If you don't get the recipe you were looking for, use Glenda's and serve in Pepperidge Farm puff pastry shells. YUM!

Glenda understood. She provided a white sauce recipe with chicken. The ala king was just a fancier version. Leave out the last 3 extra ingredients and it's plain, as requested.

I make it for my DH. It's delicious!

Oh.

You can use half cream/half milk in Glenda's recipe for a creamier sauce, and a pinch of poultry seasoning.

I'll stick to my mother's recipe with milk , as those are memories of her cooking and I always loved it.

Jemdandy - I've been through that. Wish you all the best. Getting old is the best thing to happen, huh?

I'm still a little confused. Is the same creamed chicken that one makes to use in sandwiches? as in "creamed chicken sandwiches", or is it a soupier dish to ladle over noodles, biscuits etc.?

I've never heard of "creamed chicken sandwiches" but I have heard of hot chicken salad. Is this what you want?

I've always used the same recipes for both. I just add different veggies, and make it more or less saucy. I do like it tangier sometimes so might add more sour cream and less cream cheese for those times when the mood hits. I also often do the a la king saucier or less so. :) I've found both ways to be very versatile. Maybe others do it differently?

Mother served on toast. Yum! And look at georgysmom serving it in puff pastry shells.

Poster said buns, didn't mention sandwiches, so I assumed open face.

Thanks everyone! I am serving it on buns for a luncheon. Found an old recipe at my moms house. Just what I was looking for.

I would like a chicken cream base that tastes like Marie Callanders ←sp? Chicken pot pie. I think the gravy in it is delicious. Anyone??

Judy, you KNOW you are required to post the recipe you found! LOL!

I Googled "Creamed Chicken Sandwiches" and turns out I guess they are really called shredded chicken sandwiches. We just always said "creamed". ha They are very popular around our area, served at festivals, fairs, and most any type of family get together.

Mama, lol! Maybe make a real white sauce, add a whole bunch of salt, artificial ingredients, and transfats and you'll come up with what you're looking for!

Seriously, there are probably some excellent "copycat" recipes out there. Most made from scratch white sauces with real cream,butter, and broth are pretty delicious.
